Collect
Eternal and Faithful God, Lord of all creation, who calls us by name and leads us with unfailing love, we thank you for revealing your purpose through your Son, Jesus Christ, who came not to be served but to serve, and through His death and resurrection has drawn us into the covenant of grace and the hope of new life. Grant us the grace to walk in the calling you have placed upon us to live not for ourselves, but in faithful obedience, love, and hope, trusting that the fullness of your promise lies ahead and that the best is yet to come. Renew our minds and transform our hearts, O Lord, that we may discern your will, grow in holiness, and reflect Christ in all we do, even in seasons of waiting and uncertainty. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
