More quotes by John Bunyan
You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge to Satan.
John Bunyan
The Lord uses his flail of tribulation to separate the chaff from the wheat.
John Bunyan
If you are not a praying person, you are not a Christian.
John Bunyan
Dark clouds bring waters, when the bright bring none.
John Bunyan
Christians are like the several flowers in a garden that have each of them the dew of heaven, which, being shaken with the wind, they let fall at each other's roots, whereby they are jointly nourished, and become nourishers of each other.
John Bunyan
I found it hard work now to pray to God, because despair was swallowing me up
John Bunyan
If that a pearl may in a toad's head dwell, And may be found too in an oyster shell.
John Bunyan
I saw a man clothed with rags . . . a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back.
John Bunyan
Let dissolution come when it will, it can do the Christian no harm, for it will be but a passage out of a prison into a palace out of a sea of troubles into a haven of rest out of a crowd of enemies, to an innumerable company of true, loving, and faithful friends out of shame, reproach, and contempt, into exceeding great and eternal glory.
John Bunyan
In prayer, it is better to have heart without words, than words without heart. Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin entice a man to cease from prayer. The spirit of prayer is more precious than treasures of gold and silver. Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.
John Bunyan
I could not be satisfied unless some fruits did appear in my work.
John Bunyan
It could be a sign of pride in your life if a word of reproof or admonition is not able to be received with the same grace, whether it be given by the poorest of saints or the most educated person.
John Bunyan
See how ye Pharisee in the Temple stands, And justifies himself with lifted hands. Whilst ye poor publican with downcast eyes, Conscious of guilt to God for mercy cries.
John Bunyan
To pray rightly, you must make God your hope, stay, and all. Right prayer sees nothing substantial or worth being concerned about except God.
John Bunyan
I will stay in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience.
John Bunyan
We know not the matter of the things for which we should pray, neither the object to whom we pray, nor the medium by or through whom we pray none of these things know we, but by the help and assistance of the Spirit.
John Bunyan
Some said, John, print it others said Not so. Some said, It might do good others said, No.
John Bunyan
No child of God sins to that degree as to make himself incapable of forgiveness.
John Bunyan
Nae man can tether time nor tide.
John Bunyan
Pray and read, read and pray for a little from God is better than a great deal from men.
John Bunyan
