19 and 20 Prayers of John Wesley
The Morning Office
Preparation
Lord God, you are the light which no one can approach, in your presence
there is no night, in the light of your face there is perpetual day. You have
preserved me this night so I may live by your power this day. So I bless
and glorify you, Almighty God, for your covering and provision and I
pray that this, and all my days, may be wholly devoted to your service.^255
Gracious Lord, pardon all my former sins, and each day make me
more zealous and diligent to use every opportunity to grow in faith,
in love and in obedience. Amen.^256

I know you created me, and that I have neither being nor natural
blessing except from your power and goodness.
I know you are the end for which I was created, and that I can expect
full happiness only in you.
