Covenant Prayer

“Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and mind.”

Read Psalm 26.

Verse 2 reads, “Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and mind.” This reminds me of 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.

As you pray this prayer, which lines stand out for you? Commit one or two lines to memory and recite them throughout the day.
