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.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Now, I saw, upon a time, when he was walking in the fields, that he was, as he was wont, reading in his book, and greatly distressed in his mind and, as he read, he burst out, as he had done before, crying, What shall I do to be saved?
John Bunyan
Image
Run when I can, walk when I cannot run, and creep when I cannot walk.
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
Our sins, when laid upon Christ, were yet personally ours, not his so his righteousness, when put upon us, is yet personally his, not ours.
John Bunyan
Image
A comely sight indeed it is to see, a world of blossoms on an apple tree.
John Bunyan
Image
Who would true valour see, Let him come hither One here will constant be, Come wind, come weather There’s no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent To be a pilgrim.
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
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
Great grace and small gifts are better than great gifts and no grace.
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
