And may we spend our pilgrim life learning to love this world less and heaven more.

Put us out of taste with the delicacies of the devil, and give us a liking for the solid joys of Christ.

Your mercy, Your might, Your wisdom!

You are very great, and we praise You.

May Satan’s devices in our lives ever be turned against his evil designs and made to serve Your righteous ones.

Grant us always to believe that Your invisible hand rules the world and is ruled by a heart of holy love and perfect wisdom.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

And while You tarry, keep us free from the sin of this world.

Rivet our attention on Your cross, and fuse our affections to Yourself.

Waken our compassion for all who suffer, especially those who are rushing toward everlasting misery because of unbelief.

So open our mouths and open our hands and open our wallets while we have breath, and make us the most radically loving people on earth, for the joy of all peoples and renown of Your name, AMEN.
