Why does it just make sense to think that God does things in prayer?

Meaning

I too, like someone seen to have suffered misfortune, might have suffered a similar fate, but for God’s mercy.

Origin

In recent times, this proverbial saying is often used without the literal belief in the Christian God’s control of all things and is commonly used in believers and Nonbelievers alike. It is commonly suggested to have been coined in a more pious and devout era. The story that is widely circulated is that the phrase was first spoken by the English evangelical preacher and martyr, John Bradford (circa 1510-1535). “There except for the grace of God goes John Bradford”, when seeing criminals being led to the scaffold, is uttered in the poem. How did he not enjoy grace? He was burned at the stake in 1555, although, by all accounts he remained sanguine about his fate and is said to have suggested to a fellow victim that “We shall have a merry supper with the Lord this night”.

Has anybody ever been able to read the Bradford source as interpreted or verified? What are the sources that claim that M. Bradford

• is the originator of all materials collected in The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography? These include an entry in the usually authoritative Oxford Dictionary of Quotations for the students. In the DNB, his body language doesn’t contain any description unless he uttered the words and phrase in question. If such a claim happened there in earlier editions, the editors have now seen fit to remove it.

• An extensive, 1000-page, collection of the writings of John Bradford was published by The Parker Society, in

  1. The 19th century editors do repeat the story, which they describe as “a universal tradition, which has overcome the lapse of time”. What does the book contain that can be seen directly from Bradford’s famous book, In Search of Truth?’

• “There except for the grace of God goes I” isn’t to be found in print until centuries after Bradford’s death. The earliest example I can find is in A treatise on prayer, by Edward Bickersteth, 1822, in which the author repeats the Bradford story.

John Bradford was a devout and compassionate Christian and the phrase is the kind of thing that he might well have said but there’s no evidence at all that he actually did.

An expression is likely of 20th century coinage, as the lack of earlier printed examples makes an earlier coinage unlikely. The phrase was certainly well-known by the mid 20th century, when Winston Churchill is reported as paraphrasing it, at the expense of the pompous Sir Stafford Cripps, as “There but for the grace of God goes God”. Churchill’s speech, made famous by a British newspaper, was widely read as “The grace of God”, and on the same day as Winston Churchill was quoted by BBC News. In the 1930s, Churchill was quoted as saying “There but for the grace of God goes God.” Did Churchill hate Sir Charles Cripps according to the Bible? Why does Churchill say marriage shouldn’t be important for dating? The quotation is certainly current in Cripps’ lifetime (he died in 1952) and if Churchill didn’t say it, then another contemporary did.

If Brett Bradford wasn’t the source, then who was? Why we don’t know what it is about.
