Thanks to a contact of mine who sent this prayer through with the following note:

“I came across this during my devotions this morning and was greatly moved by what it says. I don’t know who wrote it other than it was compiled by a saint of God many years ago”.

i thought it appropriate to share this with my readers during this Easter time.

Gibber! Gibber!

MY COVENANT BEFORE GOD

My Jesus, I own myself to be Thine, my only Saviour and Lord. Christ Jesus, I am yours wholly and eternally. I renounce from my heart all right and authority that Satan unrighteously gave me over myself, from this day on.
From this sacred hour, remembering how through your precious blood you did purchase me for yourself, agonizing even unto death, and praying even until your blood fell as sweat to the ground, I desire that I may be your treasure and your bride.
From now on, I offer to you my heart and my love, my intellect and my thoughts, my choice and my purpose, my spirit, soul and body, to be absolutely yours and yours alone.
Let your will henceforth be done in me. Command, rule and reign in me. I yield myself up without reserve; and I desire with your help and power, rather to give up the last drop of this my blood, than knowingly and willingly in my heart or life, to be untrue and disobedient to you. Behold I am yours wholly and completely my dearest friend of my soul. Your Spirit be my keeper; your death my assurance of salvation; your life my inspiration.
I desire to hold my friendships, my possessions, my gifts and talents at your disposal, accounting them your gift to help me to fulfil my life-course with better success. Accept me and them, and show how best all may be used in you and for you. Enable me by thy Holy Spirit to be true to this Holy Covenant while life shall last; and may I be presented at last faultless in your presence with exceeding joy.
