A Methodist Prayer
Contributed by Andrew Clark on Aug 23, 2002 (message contributor)
A Methodist Prayer
I am no longer my own, but yours.
Put me to what you will, rank me with who 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 gladly yeild all things to your pleasure and disposal.
O Lord, my God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, you are mine and I am yours. So be it.
And may this covenant made on earth be confirmed, remembered and rewarded in heaven.
Amen.
