Lord's Day, June 22, 1760 When I rose this morning I found myself in better health than for some time but was criminal in not taking the first opportunity for private prayer. I found my heart drawn out in gratitude at breakfast, the good creatures of God were very nourishing to my body. O that my soul may thus be fed with the bread of life and the new wine of the heavenly kingdom this day. After this I spent a little time in meditation and then engaged in family worship. I read Psalm cxlv which was very precious to me. There are several exhortations to men in general to praise God and to good men in particular. Several encouraging promises are given to the latter as that the Lord is near them and will hear their prayer. At nine I went into my parlour and endeavoured to pour out my soul before God after which I went to the house of God weak in body but pretty comfortable in mind.
June 23O Lord be thou my strength and guide
