Covenant Prayer


...what if where you are now is all there is? What if there is no big paycheck at the end of your labors, no big promotion, no big recognition, award, or honor? Are you still willing to be faithful and obedient?...

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.

From John Wesley's Covenant Service, 1780
