**John Wesley's Rule**
Do all the good you can By all the means you can In all the ways you can In all the places you can At all the times you can To all the people you can As long as ever you can.

Pascal's Prayer
Lord, help me to do great things as though they were little, since I do them with Your power; and little things as though they were great, since I do them in Your name. Amen.

Wesley 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 by 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.

Prayer Before Meals
Today may we appreciate this food and remember those who are hungry. May we appreciate our family and friends and remember those who are alone. May we appreciate our health and remember those who are sick. May we appreciate the freedoms we have and remember those who suffer injustice and tyranny. Peace on earth. — Beliefnet member //LisetteFC//

Prayer for Protection
The light of God surrounds us; The love of God enfolds us; The power of God protects us; The presence of God watches over us; Wherever we are, God is, and we are healthy, safe, and secure. Thank you, God. Amen. — James Dillet Freeman

Child of Light
Child of Light, I bless you. I think of you with love. I pray for you, not in terms of what I think you should do or be, but in terms of what God created you to do and be.

I lift up my thoughts about you. I catch an ever new vision of you. I see you as a child of pure Light. I see you guided and directed by your inner Spirit that leads you onto the path that is right for you.

I see you strong and whole. I see you blessed and prospered. I see you courageous and confident. I see you capable and successful. I see you free from limitations of any kind. I see you as the spiritually perfect being that you truly are. Child of Light, I bless you! — Martha Smock
