There is no subject of more solemn importance to human happiness than prayer. It is the only medium of intercourse with heaven. It is that language wherein a creature holds correspondence with his Creator; and wherein the soul of a saint gets near to God is entertained with great delight and as it were dwells with his heavenly Father. God when manifest in the flesh hath given us a solemn sweeping declaration embracing all prayer-private social and public-at all times and seasons from the creation to the final consummation of all things-God is a Spirit and they that worship him MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH (Joh 4:24). John Bunyan was an Christian writer preacher and. Reformed Baptist.
