Savior of all people, who offered yourself up for us, keep us from relying on our own works, our own power to save ourselves from all that troubles us, that we might trust instead in you and your graciousness and love and find all that we need in you, through you who lives and reigns with the Father and Holy Spirit in perfect unity, now and forever. Amen.
‘If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have more… Yet whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ.’ – Phil. 3:4,7
