Have some view of my dependence upon God and of my awful stupidity. I pray God to be with me to-day, and keep me from injuring his cause, and preserve me in a praying frame!—At Noon.—Just returned from meeting—an uncommon time with me—think I have never been so carried above this world before; never found myself so nigh the foot of the cross. Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, give me, unworthy me, a spirit of prayer! O humble me—keep me at the foot of the cross. Grant that I may always feel uneasy when I wander from that delightful place! Grant that I may make it my home there, and never wound my Redeemer in the house of his friends!
