David Brainerd, Part 4

"Lord's day, April 18--Retired early this morning into the woods for prayer; had the assistance of God's Spirit, and faith in exercise, and was enabled to plead with fervency for the advancement of Christ's kingdom in the world, and to intercede for dear absent friends. At noon, God enabled me to wrestle with Him, and to feel, as I trust, the power of divine love in prayer. At night, saw myself infinitely indebted to God, and had a view of my shortcomings; it seemed to me that I had done as it were nothing for God, and that I never had lived for HIm but a few hours of my life."
