3. JAMES 1:2
Consider it pure joy, my brothers & sisters,
whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of
your faith produces perseverance.
Let perseverance finish its work so
that you may be mature & complete,
not lacking anything.
4. Not only so, but we also glory
in our sufferings, because we know
that suffering produces perseverance;
perseverance, character;
& character, hope.
ROMANS 5:3-4

10. WESLEY’S COVENANT
PRAYERI 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 by You, or laid aside by You,
exalted by You or brought low by You.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely & heartily yield all things to
Your pleasure & disposal.
11. WESLEY’S COVENANT
PRAYERAnd now, O glorious & blessed God,
Father, Son, & Holy Spirit,
You are mine, and I am Yours.
So be it.
And the covenant which I have made on earth,
Let it be ratified in heaven.
Amen.
