卫理公会祷告文,由约翰卫斯理于1755年写成,每年年初会由几百万的信徒同心祷告。这是一个深刻而美丽的向主降伏的仪式。新年开始的时候,让我们用这个祷告文一起祷告:

英文

I am no longer my own, but yours. 

Put me to what you will, rank me with whom you will;

put me to doing, put me to suffering;

let me be employed for you, or laid aside for you,

exalted for you, or brought low for you;

let me be full,

let me be empty,

let me have all things,

let me have nothing:

I freely and wholeheartedly yield all things

to your pleasure and disposal.

And now, glorious and blessed God,

Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

you are mine and I am yours. So be it.

And the covenant now made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven.

Amen.

中文

我不再是自己的,我只属你。

不管做什么工作,还是承担什么职位,

都任由你的心意;

圣工任由你差遣,苦难也让我担当。

让我被你所用,或者被你搁置一旁,

让我因你被高举,或者因你而低就;

让我福杯满溢,

让我完全倒空,

让我样样都有,

让我空空如洗:

我甘心情愿把所有的事情都交出来,

任凭你的心意和你的处置。

现在,荣耀与赐福的神啊,

圣父、圣子与圣灵,

你属我,我也属你,本该如此。

愿我在世上所立的约在天上也被认可。

阿们。
