Draw close to those who are in the sea of despair and replace their anxiety with your peace.

Complete the work you have assigned to us as we freely choose to follow you.

Now, let us continue to humbly serve you, enabled by your Holy Spirit and guided by your Word, which is a lamp to our feet and light to our path.

May all we do honor Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray,

Amen
