Daily Christian quotes to direct, inspire, encourage, and help ordinary Christians in the rough and tumble of their daily lives!
Certainly, the very soul of prayer lies in the pouring out of a man’s soul before the Lord, though it be but in sighs, groans, and tears. One sign and groan from a broken heart is better pleasing to God than all human eloquence.
— Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)

More quotes from Thomas Brooks
The humble soul seeks more how to glorify God in afflictions, than how to get out of them.
— Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)
Certainly Christianity is nothing else but an imitation of the divine nature, a reducing of a man’s self to the image of God, in which he was created in righteousness and true holiness. A Christian’s whole life should be but a visible representation of Christ.
— Thomas Brooks (1608–1680)
Privy Key of Heaven
Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst; he promises honour, and pays with disgrace; he promises pleasure, and pays with pain; he promises profit, and pays with loss; he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises; all his payments are made in pure gold.
— Thomas Brooks (1608–1680)
Prayer crowns God with the honour and glory that are due His name, and God crowns prayer with assurance and comfort. Usually the most praying souls are the most assured souls.
— Thomas Brooks (1608–1680)
