Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for power equal to your tasks. -- Phillip Brooks
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you. -- Saint Augustine
To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing. -- Martin Luther King, Jr.
Pray often; for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan. -- John Bunyan
From Great Men Bow Down by Gordon Lawrence
Love this John Bunyan quote. Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress is one of the most famous books in the English language. Truly my favorite. Thanks for posting this wonderful quote. Encouragement as we pass through "Vanity Fair". FYI, Mr. Greatheart was a veteran of Cromwell's army. God Bless You Always, Nancy Mersereau
