July 1 1760 I now enter upon a new month and a new half year. O Lord help me to use this portion of my time in a proper manner. After attending to the usual devotions and labours of the day, I went in the evening to the meeting. I had reason to complain of unwatchfulness and wandering thoughts but found my mind a little warmed by our pastor's prayer at the close of the meeting. On my return home my temper was not as it ought to have been, the consequence of which was family and private devotions were but irregularly performed.
