When God is about to do a great work, He pours out a spirit of supplication.

Resolved, to study the Scriptures so steadily, constantly and frequently, as that I may find, and plainly perceive myself to grow in the knowledge of the same.

If I murmur in the least at affliction, if I am in any way uncharitable, if I revenge my own case, if I do anything purely to please myself or omit anything because it is a great denial, if I trust myself, if I take any praise for any good which Christ does by me, or if I am in any way proud, I shall act as my own and not God’s.

Wicked people will on the day of judgment see all there is to see of Jesus Christ, except His beauty and loveliness

To live with all my might, while I do live
