Hope is never ill when faith is well.
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
Image
The reason why the Christians in this day are at such a loss as to some things is that they are contented with what comes from man's mouth, without searching and kneeling before God to know of Him the truth of things.
John Bunyan
Image
The man who does not know the nature of the Law, cannot know the nature of sin.
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

Prayer is an ordinance of God, that must continue with a soul so long as it is on this side glory.
John Bunyan
Image
He that forgets his friend is ungrateful to him but he that forgets his Saviour is unmerciful to himself.
John Bunyan
Image
Breathes there a man, whose judgment clear Can others teach their course to steer, Yet run himself life's mad career Wild as the wave?
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
I found it hard work now to pray to God, because despair was swallowing me up
John Bunyan
Image
The law, instead of cleansing the heart from sin, doth revive it, put strength into, and increase it in the soul, even as it doth discover and forbid it, for it doth not give power to subdue.
John Bunyan
Image
Every fat (vat) must stand upon its bottom.
John Bunyan
Image
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and they that lack the beginning have neither middle nor end
John Bunyan
Image
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.

Dark clouds bring waters, when the bright bring none.
