God of grace and mercy, who guides us to true life, help us to put to death those things that draw us away from life and health, that we might live well now and be ever more ready to live forever with you in eternity, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives forever with you and the Holy Spirit in perfect joy and harmony. Amen.
‘…for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.’ – Rom. 8:13
