Collect

Righteous and Saving God, we thank you for responding to our voice, for revealing your truth, and for being the Shepherd and Guardian of our souls. We humbly kneel and bow before you: deliver and strengthen us to receive the spirit of wisdom and the knowledge of you through your Son. Send your Holy Spirit to accomplish your will, so that we may partake in your servant nature and become instruments of your servant-hood. All glory and honour are yours, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
