Collect for Pentecost 13

Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for,
as you always resist the proud who confide in their own
strength, so you never forsake those who make their
boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever. Amen

Pray for those seeking God’s calling for their next
venture in life. Provide the meanings of giving
thanksgiving for all God’s gifts and wonders.
Amen.
