A Collect to Set Aside Fruitless Things

Holy Lord, whose light illuminates all that is hidden, help us to give up self-centered, reactive, and fruitless ways that satisfy only in the moment, that we might find a life in you and in loving community that truly satisfies our hearts, through Jesus our redeemer, who died that we might live and now abides with you and the Holy Spirit in endless joy and contentment above. Amen.

‘Let us walk decently as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in illicit sex and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy.’ – Rom. 13:13
