Be Still
“Be still and know that I am God.”
I Am Baptized
Lord, I remember my baptism and I am grateful. I am baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

The Serenity Prayer
God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things which should be changed,
and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did, This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.

Three Things We Pray
Thanks be to thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits which thou hast given us; for all the pains and insults which thou hast borne for us. O most merciful Redeemer, friend, and brother, may we know thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, and follow thee more nearly, for thine own sake. Amen.—Richard of Chichester, England, 13th cent.,
Three Simple Rules
Do no harm; do good; stay in love with God.

Psalm

Prayer of Relinquishment
I stop demanding anything. I want what you want, whatever that is. 
A Covenant Prayer in the Wesleyan Tradition
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 for 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.
Breath Prayer
Creating Love, order me. Loving God, live through me.
Gracious God, set me free. Savior Friend, take my hand.
Loving Potter, center me. Jesus, blessing.

Make Me an Instrument
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light; and
where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and
it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Lord, Still My Soul
Lord, still my soul; I know you’re on my side.
Help me to bear the cross of grief or pain.
I leave to you to order and provide.
In every change, you faithful will remain.
Lord, still my soul—my best, my heavenly friend,
through thorny ways, lead to a joyful end. Amen.
