Fight the good fight of faith, and God will give you spiritual mercies.

I began to read the Holy Scriptures upon my knees, laying aside all other books, and praying over, if possible, every line and word. This proved meat indeed and drink indeed to my soul. I daily received fresh life, light and power from above.

Give diligent heed to the things that are spoken from the Word of God.

Pray that I may be very little in my own eyes, and not rob my dear Master of any part of his glory.

Oh that I was lowly in heart! Honor and dishonor, good report and evil report would then be alike, and prove a furtherance to me in my Christian cause.

The riches of His free grace cause me daily to triumph over all the temptations of the wicked one, who is very vigilant, and seeks all occasions to disturb me.
