Oh that I may never loiter on my heavenly journey.

God enabled me to so agonize in prayer that I was quite wet with perspiration, though in the shade and the cool wind. My soul was drawn out very much from the world, for multitudes of souls.

Let me forget the world and be swallowed up in the desire to glorify God.

I have withstood the power of convictions a long time; and therefore I fear I shall be finally left of God.

Toward night, I felt my soul rejoice, that God is unchangeable happy and glorious and that He will be glorified, whatever becomes of His creatures.

I am an old sinner; and if God had designed mercy for me, he would have called me home to himself before now.

First, Resolve upon, and daily endeavour to practise, a life of seriousness and strict sobriety.
