John Wesley’s Covenant Prayer

Charles Kiser —  October 11, 2010 — 2 Comments

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 by you,
enabled for you or brought low by 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.

Charles Kiser

    Randy Harris suggested this prayer and the book that went along with it at Summit this year. I pray it often and it hurts everytime. May He bless you in accordance with His kingdom will.

    Yes – as with many people, Randy Harris is often the source of great spiritual challenge. 🙂

    I first heard the prayer from him as well.
