Puritans on Prayer

Prayer is the soul’s breathing itself into the bosom of its heavenly Father. — Thomas Watson

Praying is the same to the new creature as crying is to the natural. The child is not learned by art or example to cry, but instructed by nature-, it comes into the world crying. Praying is not a lesson got by forms and rules of art, but flowing from principles of new life itself — William Gumall

You can do more than pray, after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.

— John Bunyan

Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God’s Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again. — William Gurnall

I had rather stand against the cannons of the wicked than against the prayers of the righteous. — Thomas Lye

Good prayers never come weeping home. 1 am sure I shall receive, either what I ask or what I should ask. — loseph Hall

Prayer is putting the promises into suit. — John Trapp
