O Father of mercies, the God of peace and
comfort, of rest and pardon, grant me, Thy
servant, patience in my sickness, comfort in
my sorrows, and restore me to health, if it
seem good unto Thee. But if it be Thy will
to call me hence, receive my soul into Thine
everlasting rest; or if it be Thy will to spare
me, give me grace to amend my life, to the
glory of Thy name: through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
John Wesley preached over 44,000 sermons in his lifetime. He traveled by horseback and carriage nearly 300,000 miles, wrote grammar and theological textbooks in four languages, and yet always had time for a quiet time. While still in his childhood, Wesley resolved to dedicate an hour each morning and evening to Bible study and prayer.
