O God,
by your command the order of all time runs its course.
Look graciously on me your servant,
whom you have called into your ministry.
Mercifully preserve your gifts in me
so that my service may be pleasing to you;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

This prayer is just amazing! Summoning the person completely in front of the Almighty, it truly is a great way to pay highest regards to the creator!
