Holy God, whose nature is goodness and joy and love, draw our minds and hearts from earthly things, that we would not be ensnared by that which leads to destruction but be drawn to things that bring real life and satisfy the soul, through Jesus our brother, who showed us the way to the Father and now lives forever in joy with the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘Their end is destruction, their god is the belly, and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things.’ – Phil. 3:19
