Let Us Clearly See What You Want Us to Do

O Lord,
mercifully receive the prayers
of your people who call on you.
Let them clearly see what you want them to do,
and give them the strength to do it;
through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
Amen.
