A Collect for Strength in Doing Good Works

Empower our hands, O Lord of glory, to labor on this earth toward good works in love, faith, and hope, that when you return, we will be received with joy and enter into your eternal kingdom with spiritual riches and the praise of the Father, through you who lives and reigns with the Father and Holy Spirit over angels and humanity and all of creation. Amen. ‘ For the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay everyone for what has been done.’ – Matthew 16:27
