A sermon that looks at how doing math with Jesus finds a formula in the Prayer of Self-Dedication that gives strength in times of anguish as an action oriented thought and prayer preached on The Fifth Sunday of Easter (5 Easter A) at St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church, Greenville NC on May 7, 2023.

 61. A Prayer of Self-Dedication 
(Book of Common Prayer Page 832)
Almighty and eternal God, so draw our hearts to you, so guide our minds, so fill our imaginations, so control our wills, that we may be wholly yours, utterly dedicated to you; and then use us, we pray, as you will, and always to thy glory and the welfare of your people; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
