Wednesday, June 25, 1760 This morning I found myself a little better and felt a degree of thankfulness for it. I rose soon after six, my pains being a little removed. My desire is that the Lord would do me good by this affliction so that it may tend to purge me from sin, bring me nearer to God, make me partaker of his holiness and thereby yield the peaceable fruits of righteousness. In order to this I would now examine what sins I have indulged and what duties neglected. Search me O God and try my reins and heart. I am conscious that I am chargeable with misspending my precious time and neglecting my business. I have also been deficient in private prayer and Divine meditation. O Lord, pardon my hypocrisy and formality.
