Monday, March 31.
Lord teach me how to watch and pray,
To keep my heart both night and day,
To try each motion of the mind,
And check the rising lusts I find.
Do thou my sensual heart renew,
And pardon my transgressions too;
Give strength to walk in duty's road,
That narrow path which leads to God.
This morning I rose in good health, at my usual time. I had much pleasure in private prayer, but was discomposed in family worship. I was distressed by sinful thoughts in the afternoon. I am now brought to the close of this month. O Lord, my God, look upon me; and as my days and months roll on, may I increase in grace and usefulness!
