Prayer

O God, 

you declare your almighty power

chiefly in showing mercy and pity:

Grant us the fullness of your grace,

that we, running to obtain your promises,

may become partakers of your heavenly treasure;

through Jesus Christ our Lord,

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever. 

Amen.

Contemporary Collect for Common 21, Book of Common Prayer, 1979 edition.

Food for thought:

"Do not place much confidence in weak and mortal man,
helpful and friendly though he be;

and do not grieve too much if he sometimes opposes and contradicts you.

Those who are with us today may be against us tomorrow, and vice versa,

for men change with the wind.
Place all your trust in God; let Him be your fear and your love.

He will answer for you; He will do what is best for you.”

Thomas A’Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

Prayer for Proper 19

Grant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things,

but to love things heavenly;

and even now,
while we are placed among things that are passing away,

to hold fast to those that shall endure;

through Jesus Christ our Lord,

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Contemporary Collect for Common 20, Book of Common Prayer, 1979 edition.

"As a Christian, I'm forced to believe that Jesus Christ is Lord

and that all presumptive lordlets are not.”

Prayer for Sunday Morning Worship:
 

Father God,

we confess that without Your help

we cannot live lives that please You.

By Your endless mercy and grace,

and through the empowerment of
Your Holy Spirit dwelling within us,

Let us become all that we were created to be.

This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord,

who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever.

Amen.

Based on the Collect for Common 19 in the Book of Common Prayer.

Food for thought:

"The beginning of all temptation lies in the wavering mind and little trust in God, for as a rudderless ship is driven hither and yon by waves, so a careless and irresolute person is tempted in many ways."

Thomas A'Kempis, The Imitation of Christ, book 1 chapter 13
