prayer

This is the prayer that we Methodists refer to as the John Wesley Covenant Prayer. Or in the hymnal it is #607 Covenant Prayer in the Wesleyan Tradition.....

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.


If we but live by this prayer, our Methodist churches would be much healthier.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
