Altars: An Invitation to Meet With Godಮಾದರಿ

Lay the Foundation

Read the Wesley Covenant Prayer aloud. Read slowly and reverently. Listen for the word or phrase the Holy Spirit highlights for you.

• "I am no longer my own, but yours. Put me to what you will, place 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 wonderful and holy God, Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer, you are mine, and I am yours. So be it. And the covenant which I have made on earth, Let it also be made in heaven. Amen." - Wesley Covenant Prayer

Sit quietly with the Lord, allowing His truth and His presence to minister to you.
