I have a secret thought from some things I have observed, that God may perhaps design you for some singular service in the world.

Give yourself to prayer, to reading and meditation on divine truths: strive to penetrate to the bottom of them and never be content with a superficial knowledge.

Once more, never think that you can live to God by your own power or strength; but always look to and rely on him for assistance, yea, for all strength and grace.

Oh, how precious is time, and how it pains me to see it slide away, while I do so little to any good purpose.

I am more weary of life, I think, than ever I was.

I have a secret thought from some things I have observed, that God may perhaps design you for some singular service in the world.

Oh! it is sweet to be thus weaned from friends, and from myself, and dead to the present world, that so I may live wholly to and upon the blessed God!
