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.
