John Wesley, founder of Methodism and one of the most influential religious voices in Western history, offers here not abstract theology but a practical guide to the surrendered life. This sixth volume of his collected works wrestles with a question that remains urgent: how do we align our finite will with infinite purpose? Wesley argues that true virtue cannot be manufactured through human effort alone, it must flow from resignation to divine intention. He presents prayer not as ritual but as the essential discipline through which we learn to want what God wants for us. Written in the intimate, urgent tone of a pastor who knew his readers' souls, these meditations address gratitude, devotion, and the humility required to acknowledge our limitations before divine wisdom. Nearly three centuries later, these writings still challenge readers to examine whether their actions truly reflect surrender to something beyond themselves. For anyone seeking spiritual formation that moves beyond self-help platitudes into the difficult, liberating work of dying to ego, Wesley remains an indispensable voice.
