Wesley's covenant prayer

John-Wesley Some Wesleyan friends introduced me to John Wesely's Covenant Prayer.

I am no longer my own, but yours.

Put me to what you will, rank me with whom you will; put me to doing, put me to suffering; let me be employed for you or laid aside for you, exalted for you or brought low for you; 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 your pleasure and disposal

And now, O glorious and blessed God, Faither, Son and Holy Spirit, you are mine, and I am yours. So be it.

And the covenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven.

Amen.

This prayer was the heart beat of one of the most dynamic movements for the renewal and expansion of the Christian movement.
