Never was a faithful prayer lost. Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but then they return with their richer lading at last, so that the praying soul is a gainer by waiting for an answer.

More quotes by William Gurnall
Least doers are the greatest boasters.
William Gurnall
The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
William Gurnall
Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
William Gurnall
We are justified, not by giving anything to God,--what we do,--but by receiving from God, what Christ hath done for us.
William Gurnall
There is no such way to be even with the devil and his instruments, for all their spite against us, as by doing what good we can wherever we be come.
William Gurnall
The regenerating Spirit is compared to the wind. His first attempts on the soul may be so secret that the creature knows not whence they come, or whither they tend but, before he hath done, the sound will be heard throughout the soul.
William Gurnall
A minister, without boldness, is like a smooth file, a knife without an edge, a sentinel that is afraid to let off his gun. If men will be bold in sin, ministers must be bold to reprove.
William Gurnall
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
William Gurnall
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
William Gurnall
It is the saint's duty, and should be their care, not only to believe that God is Almighty, but also to strongly believe that His almighty power is engaged for our defense and help in all of our straits and temptations.
William Gurnall
How can God stoop lower than to come and dwell with a poor humble soul? Which is more than if he had said, such a one should dwell with him for a beggar to live at court is not so much as the king to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
William Gurnall
Thou hast no life to lose, because thou hast given it already to Christ, nor can man take away that without God's leave.
William Gurnall
Few are made better by prosperity, whom afflictions make worse.
William Gurnall
Hope fills the afflicted soul with such inward joy and consolation, that it can laugh while tears are in the eye, sigh and sing all in a breath it is called the rejoicing of hope (Hebrews 3:6).
William Gurnall
Cowards never won heaven. Do not claim that you are begotten of God and you have His royal blood running in your veins unless you can prove your lineage by His heroic spirit: to dare to be holy in spite of men and devils.
William Gurnall
The Word of God is too sacred a thing, and preaching too solemn a work, to be toyed and played with.
William Gurnall
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
One Almighty is more than all mighties
William Gurnall
All the plots of hell and commotions on earth have not so much as shaken God's hand to spoil one letter or line he has been drawing.
