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 forever. Amen.
