Brooklyn, New York, Sabbath, November 22, 1890

This morning I pleaded most earnestly with the Lord for His presence, for the enlightenment which He alone can give me. I wrestled for some time in prayer, and placed myself decidedly on the Lord's side, to believe every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. I will not take myself out of His hands. Infirmities press me at all times, and my faith is tested severely. Oh, that I may never lose sight of Jesus, my hope and my consolation. MR1033 30.3

I spoke to a room packed with interested listeners, from Isaiah 58. The Lord's presence was in the congregation.... Testimonies followed in quick succession.—Manuscript 29a, 1890, p. 6 (Diary 16, pp. 325, 327). MR1033 30.4
