may obtain thy promises,
which exceed all that we can desire;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Collect Of The Word
Father in heaven,
in your goodness
you pour out on your people all that they need,
and satisfy those who persist in prayer.
Make us bold in asking,
thankful in receiving,
tireless in seeking,
and joyful in finding,
that we may always proclaim your coming kingdom
and do your will on earth as in heaven.
