Tuesday Examen

For this Tuesday vespers, I invite us to look prayerfully and reflectively back at what we have done during this week, both our activities and our praying, to get used to seeing where God has been. Here are some suggestions about what you might look for. 

Did I feel God’s presence with me in the course of my prayer this week? 

Can I remember one particular scripture passage or verse that really touched me in the prayer this week? 

Where did I feel a lightness of heart? 

Where did I find it hard to hear God’s voice? Why was that? 

How has this prepared me for what might happen next week? 

Gratitude is an important part of this prayer. What would you like to thank God for today?

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Highlights & Thoughts from Pastor Abi

Wesley's 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.
