Perfect Lord, you are the faith of all who believe, and you sow the good seed of your Word in the hearts of those who need it. Fix our eyes steadfastly on you, that we may run with patience the race that is set before us. Give us grace to show our faith by our deeds. Teach us to walk by faith, to remember your promises, and to wait for your mercy and fulfillment, most gracious Lord God and Savior. Amen.
Adapted from Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894). Revised from Prayers Ancient and Modern.
Lord, let your holy Word keep alive in us that fire which your Son came to kindle on earth, that we also may be anointed with the Spirit of peace, holiness, and obedience, and dwell in your fellowship forever. Amen.
Rowland Williams (1818-1870). Revised from Prayers Ancient and Modern.
