I have found this prayer to be a meaningful way to begin the new year. I invite you to join Wesleyan followers of Jesus, who for the past two and a half centuries have prayed this prayer as a time of personal and corporate   renewal. Perhaps you may want to begin each day of 2025 praying this powerful prayer of devotion.

Your servant,

John Wesley’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 wholeheartedly yield all things to your pleasure and disposal.

And now, glorious and blessed God,

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

you are mine and I am yours.

So be it.

And the covenant now made on earth,

let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.
