A Covenant of Prayer

Father, you have loved me with an everlasting love, even when I have not loved you in return.

Jesus, Son of God, you died on the cross, paying the penalty for my sins.

Holy Spirit, you impressed on me the Father’s love and the redemptive work of Jesus the Son. You brought me to faith to be born again and so to find my place within the Father’s family.

God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - I joyfully and freely commit and submit myself to you.

I am no longer my own but yours.

Teach me how to pray.

Give me an appreciation of others in your family, so that I may help them and be helped by them and so that we may be your Body.

Help me to acknowledge the gifts you have given me for the benefit of your Body.

Help us together to express your will by life and word so that others too will come to rejoice with us in your salvation and love and be part of your family here.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
