Susanna's Prayer

We are so glad that you all could come tonight! Troy and Kenyons: We're sad you were not able to make it. We miss you.
Here is the prayer from Susanna Wesley, mother of John and Charles Wesley, that closed our discussion of the Incarnational Tradition / Sacramental Life:
"Help me, Lord, to remember that religion is not to be confined to the church, or closet, nor exercised only in prayer and meditation, but that everywhere I am in Thy presence. So may my every word and action have a moral content...May all the happenings of my life prove useful and beneficial to me. May all things instruct me and afford me an opportunity of exercising some virtue and daily learning and growing toward Thy likeness...Amen."
