Lord God, almighty and exalted high above all creation, let us not forget our frailty, lest we credit ourselves for our works and neglect that it is you who has blessed us with life and breath and has worked in and through us all along, through Jesus our savior, who lived the life we could not and has now returned to you and to the Holy Spirit to reign forever in glory. Amen.
‘But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.’ – 2 Cor. 4:7
