A Collect to Abandon Laws that are not of God

God of heaven and earth, who gave us your Law to guide our steps, keep us from declaring our own desires and comforts to be your will, that we would be bound by your laws and not that which leads not to life nor to you, and would find your ways to be restful to our souls, through Christ our teacher, who showed us the way to you and ascended to intercede for us in the Holy Spirit. Amen.

‘He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.’”‘ – Mark 7:6-7
