Monday, June 30, 1760 This morning I rose about six being faint in body and still worse in mind I found great backwardness to prayer and every thing that is good. I did indeed retire as usual but had no spirit of supplication. I fear the Lord has a controversy with me and that the Holy Spirit is grieved. About nine I kneeled down and prayed and was more engaged in the work. I then resolved with myself to begin anew to seek the Lord. I thought on my ways with earnest desires to turn my feet unto his testimonies. In the evening I took a walk to Farsley where I had some Christian conversation with a few friends on the temptations to which young persons are exposed. It was a pleasing and profitable interview.
