Diary Extract 14 April 13 1760

Lord's Day, April 13 This morning I had some more discourse with the two persons before mentioned; but did not find my mind impressed as I wished to do in my morning devotion.- Quicken me, O Lord!
Mr Crabtree preached AM from 1 Thess. i. 10: 'And to wait for his Son from heaven.'
O Lord, enable me to improve by the solemn truths I have heard, so that I may double my diligence, and be found at thy coming ready to meet thee! Prepare me to come to thy table, and partake of thy holy Supper. Pardon my unfitness for that sacred feast, and make me a worthy partaker of it.
In attending to the ordinance at the close of the afternoon service, my natural passions were affected, but, alas! my heart was at too great a distance from God; O Lord help me, for Jesus' sake!
