I fear God never showed mercy to one so vile as I.

Oh that God would humble me deeply in the dust before Him! i deserve Hell every day for not lovingmy Lord more, who has, i trust, loved me and given Himself for me.

I love to live alone in my own little cottage, where I can spend much time in prayer, etc

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.

Lord, let me make a difference for you that is utterly disproportionate to who I am.

This morning about nine I withdrew to the woods for prayer. I was in such anguish that when I arose from my knees I felt extremely weak and overcome. ...I cared not how or where I lived, or what hardships I went through, so that I could but gain souls for Christ.

Oh, that I could spend every moment of my life to God's glory!
