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
Image

Temptation provokes me to look upward to God.
John Bunyan
Image
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.
