A Collect to Unburden Ourselves

Spirit of Truth, who knows us deeper than we know ourselves, reveal to us those things to which we are bound and which keep us from you and your kingdom, that we might let go of our burdens and be free to follow you, trusting in greater things to come, through Christ our redeemer, who lives with you and the Father in perfect joy, forever and ever. Amen.

‘Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions.’ – Mark 10:21-22
