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。
