Wesley Covenant Prayer

Since I have not said that before, I'm a Methodist.

Had my first service of the year of 2008 yesterday. The current methodist church that I am attending while studying out here, has this custom of having this wesley covenant prayer on the first service of the year. Kinda amused by it as my hometown methodist do not have such.

I'll share the prayer here.

I am no longer my own, but thine.

Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.

Put me to doing, put me to suffering.

Let me be employed for thee or laid aside for thee,

exalted for thee or brought low for thee.

Let me be full, let me be empty.

Let me have all things, let me have nothing.

I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal.

And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, thou art mine, and I am thine.

So be it.

And the covenant which I have made on earth,

let it be ratified in heaven.

Amen.

I find it meaningful and interesting, and by God's will, I'll try to keep up to this covenant.

Hope that this would be your promise and commitment to God as well too!
