“I am no longer my own, but yours.
Put me to what you will, put me with whom you will.
Put me to doing. Put me to suffering.
Let me be put to work for you, or set aside for you.
Praised for you, or criticized for you.
Let me be full. Let me be empty.
Let me have all things. Let me have nothing.
I freely and fully surrender all things to your glory and service.
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.”
-Wesley Covenant Prayer
