A Prayer, Reordered Desires

Almighty God, 

you alone can bring into order 

the unruly wills and affections of sinners:

Grant your people grace to love what you command 

and desire what you promise; 

that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, 

our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; 

through Jesus Christ our Lord, 

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, 

now and for ever. 

Amen.
