A Covenant Prayer

This is known as "A Covenant Prayer in the Wesleyan Tradition". John Wesley founded Methodism, which I am proud to be a part of as a United Methodist. I'll soon have an info page concerning the Wesley's and Methodism, so keep your eyes peeled!

A Covenant Prayer

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 by 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.

This is a more contemporary version of the "Covenant Prayer in the Wesleyan Tradition".

A Covenant Prayer

I give myself completely to you, God.

Assign me to my place in Your creation.

Let me suffer for You.

Give me the work You would have me do.

Give me many tasks,

Or have me step aside while You call others.

Put me forward or humble me.

Give me riches or let me live in poverty.

I freely give all that I am and all that I have to You.

And now holy God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit--

You are mine and I am Yours, so be it.

May this covenant made on earth

Continue for all eternity. Amen.
