A Collect to Not Use God for Our Purposes

Almighty God, who is far above all our earthly concerns, let us not seek to use you or your name to resolve our quarrels and difficulties, but teach us to love as you love and so learn to navigate the challenges of this world according to the ways of your blessed Kingdom, through Christ our King, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in joy and love and majesty forever and ever. Amen.

‘Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” But he said to him, “Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?”‘ – Luke 12:13-14
