A Collect to Attend to Small Things

Lord God Almighty, who sees all that happens in this world you have created, let us not neglect the small things, trusting that in your kingdom, the small and insignificant may perhaps become great and by used to serve your children in powerful ways, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

‘He also said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we use for it? It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”‘ – Mark 4:30-32
