A New Article about the Covenant Prayer of John Wesley

 

 

     Firebrand magazine has just published an article entitled "I Am No Longer My Own But Thine: Wesley’s Covenant Prayer". It is about a famous prayer by the great clergyman, theologian, and evangelist John Wesley (1703–1791).

 

     I've read it. I highly recommend it.

 

     Although the article says this prayer is "particularly used around the turn of the new year", it is fitting to pray this superb prayer at any time of year.

 

     Here is an excerpt from the last paragraph of the article:

 

In this passage, Wesley provides us with the answer as to why this prayer and these liturgies have become so very dear to the Wesleyan people: we too want to see God pour down his grace, to change us, to change our families, our society, our world, and to make us whole.

 

     Firebrand says the following about the author of the article:

 

Ryan N. Danker is Director of the John Wesley Institute, Washington, DC, publisher of Good News Magazine, and assistant lead editor of Firebrand.
