Quotes by William Gurnall

When God intends a mercy for his people, he stirs up the spirit of prayer in them. Fervency unites the soul and directs the thoughts to the work at hand. It will not allow diversions and denies all foreign thoughts seeking to intrude. Pray fervently or you do nothing. Cold praying is no more prayer than a painting of fire is fire. How can prayers that do not even warm your own heart move God's? A fervent prayer will never find a cold reception with God. Elijah's prayer called fire down from heaven because it carried fire up to heaven.
Read quote
We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.

Compare not thyself with those that have less than thyself, but look on those that have far exceeded thee.
Read quote
Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
Read quote
Never was a faithful prayer lost. Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but then they return with their richer lading at last, so that the praying soul is a gainer by waiting for an answer.
Read quote
Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
Read quote
In heaven we shall appear, not in armour, but in robes of glory. But here these are to be worn night and day; we must walk, work, and sleep in them, or else we are not true soldiers of Christ.
Read quote
Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
