Prayer opens the heart to God, and it is the means by which the soul, though empty, is filled by God.
— John Bunyan
Chastening
Let us learn like Christians to kiss the rod, and love it.

Essence of Prayer
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.
— John Bunyan
Prayer
When thou prayest, rather let thy heart be without words than the words be without heart.
— John Bunyan
The Bible
God’s book of “grace” is just like his book of nature; it is his thoughts written out. This great book, the Bible, this most precious volume is the heart of God made legible; it is the gold of God’s love, beaten out into gold leaf, so that therewith our thoughts might be plated, and we also might have golden, good, and holy thoughts concerning Him.
— John Bunyan
