Prayer Is A Shield To The Soul – Prayer And Devotional Quotes – John Bunyan.
“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.”
“If you are not a praying person, you are not a Christian.”
“In all your prayers forget not to thank the Lord for his mercies.”
“It is the opener of the heart of God, and a means by which the soul, though empty, is filled.”
“Prayer is a sincere, sensible, affectionate pouring out of the soul to God, through Christ, in the strength and assistance of the Spirit, for such things as God has promised.”
“Pray and read, read and pray; for a little from God is better than a great deal from men.”
“Here is the life of prayer, when in or with the Spirit, a man being made sensible of sin, and how to come to the Lord for mercy; he comes, I say, in the strength of the Spirit, and crieth Father. That one word spoken in faith is better than a thousand prayers, as men call them, written and read, in a formal, cold, lukewarm way.”
“The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin to damn the whole world.”
“There is enough sin in my best prayer to send the whole world to Hell.” – John Bunyan
“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.”
“The best prayers have often more groans than words.”
“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.”
“In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”
“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.”
“Prayer is a shield to the soul.”
“To pray rightly, you must make God your hope, stay, and all. Right prayer sees nothing substantial or worth being concerned about except God.”
“Take heed of driving so hard after this world, as to hinder thyself and family from those duties towards God, which thou art by grace obliged to; as private prayer, reading the scriptures, and Christian conference. It is a base thing for men so to spend themselves and families after this world, as that they disengage their heart to God’s worship.”
“Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.”
– John Bunyan
“It is not the mouth that is the main thing to be looked at in prayer, but whether the heart is so full of affection and earnestness in prayer with God, that it is impossible to express their sense and desire; for then a man desires indeed, when his desires are so strong, many, and mighty, that all the words, tears, and groans that can come from the heart, cannot utter them.”
– John Bunyan
“To-despise the world is the way to enjoy heaven; and blessed are they who delight to converse with God by prayer.”
– John Bunyan
“God speaks once, yea twice, yet Man perceiveth it not, in a Dream, in a Vision of the night, when deep Sleep falleth upon men, in slumbering upon the bed. We need not, when abed, to lie awake to talk with God, he can visit us while we sleep, and cause us then to hear his Voice. Our heart oft-times wakes when we sleep, and God can speak to that, either by words, by proverbs, by signs and similitudes, as well as if one was awake.”
“Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.”
– John Bunyan
“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
“Prayer is an ordinance of God, that must continue with a soul so long as it is on this side glory.”
“A sensible thanksgiving for mercies received is a mighty prayer in the Spirit of God. It prevails with Him unspeakably.”
– John Bunyan
“Sincerity is the same in a corner alone, as it is before the face of the world. It knows not how to wear two vizards, one for an appearance before men, and another for a short snatch in a corner; but it must have God, and be with him in the duty of prayer. It is not lip-labour that it doth regard, for it is the heart that God looks at, and that which sincerity looks at, and that which prayer comes from, if it be that prayer which is accompanied with sincerity.”
