The Wesley Covenant Prayer
“I am no longer my own, but thine.
Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee,
exalted for thee or brought low for thee.
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 thy pleasure and disposal.
And now, O glorious and blessed God,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it.
And the covenant which I have made on earth,
let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.”

34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’
This is a Prayer Shawl –
Crocheted with Love
Stitched with Scriptures,
Hemmed with hymns.
As you wear it,
May you feel the
Comfort, Love, and Prayers
With which it is imbued.
The Benediction
The Lord bless you, and keep you: The Lord make His face shine upon you,
and be gracious unto you:
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26
