Prayer Requests 12/31/09

Happy New Year!!! In his e-mail message this week, Pastor Phil at Christ Church shared John Wesley's "Covenant Prayer." It is a powerful prayer to lift up, and I'd like to share it here:

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 for 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.

Please pray for this ministry to yield all things to God and be put to what He would have us be doing. Pray for us to be renewed this new year, always seeking His counsel. And pray for us to effectively be His hands and feet in serving the homeless and needy, reflecting back the love and forgiveness He shows all of us.

Thank you for keeping this ministry and its guests in your prayers!

Blessings for a healthy 2010,
