Brainerd is dying. Yet Edwards witnessed him as vibrant and happy during these days. Listen to David's thoughts about the next life. He is not going there to be blessed but to bless. Is it possible a man could be so selfless?Life of David Brainerd, 32
He's passed most of us at this point of the story. Sick unto death he continues to want more of God and to be useful in God's service. I wonder if it has been revealed to him There that he is still being useful to us...?

Better and better. Brainerd is growing in the grace of God. Less melancholy, more assurance. More desire for God, more ability to say, "Your will be done." But alongside the positive comes more sickness, more weariness in the flesh. His candle grows dim.Life of David Brainerd, 27

Accused of being a Roman Catholic plotting against the English! Sickly himself, he is called upon to minister to an ailing schoolmaster night and day. Constant travels. Constant pain.

Lots of travel, lots of prayer, lots of hardship - including a stolen horse! Edwards begins to mention here a journal that Brainerd himself published.

Never read of a man who wanted to be with Jesus more than this one. Here truly was a man who profited from not marrying. His entire life could be and was totally dedicated to God. Every waking thought seemed to …

Never read of a man who wanted to be with Jesus more than this one. Here truly was a man who profited from not marrying. His entire life could be and was totally dedicated to God. Every waking thought seemed to be of God and/or God's service. Such men long to be with Jesus. Such men challenge us.Life of David Brainerd, 19

Some of the pain and sickness that will stay next to young Brainerd the rest of his life begins to show itself. He continues on in his primitive lifestyle and ever-increasing joy in God. The government at this time issues a warning about a possible invasion of "French" related Indians.Life of David Brainerd Part 13

Brainerd is denied his college degree. Writes profuse apology to those he has wronged in earlier years. Finishes his hut and lives in it, content to be alone with God, though in regular ministry to the Indians. Hard to relate to such a man. Lord, more holiness give us.Life of David Brainerd, Part 12
David turns 25. He builds a hut for himself in the wilderness where his Indians live. No spouse. No family. No friends. Little of material goods. Essentially alone with God and his mission. But his complaint is …

David turns 25. He builds a hut for himself in the wilderness where his Indians live. No spouse. No family. No friends. Little of material goods. Essentially alone with God and his mission. But his complaint is only about his personal unworthiness. We should weep for our greedy unthankful comfortable generation...Life of David Brainerd, Part 11

Body begins an early decay. Spirit rejoices in Christ. Constant attacks on the mind. Constant victories in preaching. Brainerd models for us the warfare of the Christian life. Hard to listen to? Even harder to live, but this is our calling... And we do win...Life of David Brainerd, Part 10
Examined and appointed, Brainerd continues on his short pilgrimage, but constantly struggling with melancholy and the resultant attacks of the enemy. Struggling, but always triumphant.
Life of David Brainerd, Part 9
The struggles continue. He is called in for personal examination and a progress report, all toward the end of sending him to the "Indians" of that New England region. Much prayer for that appointment.
Life of David Brainerd Part 8
Brainerd is licensed to preach and begins a work among the Delaware Indians of New Jersey. But his heart cry is still "more of You, Lord," not just more of ministry. In this trait he bypasses most of us...
Life of David Brainerd, 7
Finally licensed to preach! But not after many more struggles with God. Brainerd's life was wrapped up in knowing the Lord, not just in "ministry." A worthy example for us all.
