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
Image
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
Image
A comely sight indeed it is to see, a world of blossoms on an apple tree.
John Bunyan

He hath given me rest by His sorrow, and life by His death.
John Bunyan
Image
Christ is the desire of nations, the joy of angels, the delight of the Father. What solace then must that soul be filled with, that has the possession of Him to all eternity!
John Bunyan
Image
Yet my great-grandfather was but a water-man, looking one way and rowing another: and I got most of my estate by the same occupation.
John Bunyan
Image
Afflictions make the heart more deep, more experimental, more knowing and profound, and so, more able to hold, to contain, and beat more.
John Bunyan
Image
Fullness to such a burden is That go on pilgrimage Here little, and hereafter bliss, Is best from age to age.
John Bunyan
Image
It is easier going out of the way when we are in, than going in when we are out.
John Bunyan
Image
The truths that I know best I have learned on my knees. I never know a thing well, till it is burned into my heart by prayer.
John Bunyan
Image
Prayer is an ordinance of God, that must continue with a soul so long as it is on this side glory.
