Eternal Lord, satisfy our deepest desires with Your love. Quench our thirst for understanding with Your wisdom, for You alone can provide for our need for discernment. Only You can appease our appetite for truth.
Help us to see how futile it is to think that we can be contented with wealth, power, and position.
Help us to understand the vanity of clinging to today's worries and pursuing fleeting successes.
Turn our eyes from the pursuit of vainglory and fix them upon Your glory, the glory of Your eternity.
In our time, in this place, may we instead pursue a lifelong response of obedience to Your guidance and direction.
On this day, in every moment, may we instead follow in faith Your perfect will, for in You alone do we find all that we seek.
In Your sovereign name, we pray. Amen.
If I be bound to pray for all that be in distress, surely I am bound, so far as it is in my power, to practice what I pray for.
—George Herbert
