"Almighty God, our heavenly Father, you declare your glory
and show forth your handiwork in the heavens and in the earth:
and show forth your handiwork in the heavens and in the earth:
Deliver us in our various occupations from the service of self alone,
that we may do the work You give us to do
in truth and beauty and for the common good;
for the sake of Him who came among us as one who serves,
your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen."
buried in paperwork and frustrated at the system and not sure how
to carry hopeless cases and dumbstruck at my own capacity for laziness.
deliver me from the service of self alone,
(here the traditional collect adds, "we beseech Thee". amen.),
may i do the work You give me to do.
in truth.
and beauty.
amen.
