Covenant

John Wesley prayed this prayer which is prayed by Christians all over the world, its called the covenant prayer. Its about commitment to God! Its a prayer that challenges me to the depths of my heart. Why? because it is far more than words, it is a covenant between myself and the one living God!!

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 by 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, Father, 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.
