"When you pray, rather let your heart be without words than your words be without heart."

John Bunyan (in 1662)

"True prayer is a sincere, sensible, affectionate pouring out of your heart or soul to God through Jesus Christ, in the strength and assistance of the Holy Spirit."

John Banyan (in 1662)

"Stubborn persistence is the fuel that will fire up your stamina for prayer. In other word, If you willed yourself to prayer, you will surely pray."
