(This is late. A headache and a holiday...)
Grant me, O Lord, to trust in you with all my heart; for as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with 7ou and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
from The Divine Hours: Prayers for Summertime by Phyllis Tickle.
Vineyard Church in Ann Arbor has the Divine Hours prayers on its website, here.
This prayer originates from The Book of Common Prayer. It the Collect (Contemporary) Proper 18, for the Sunday closest to September 7th. Page 233 in my copy of the BCP:
Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
In the Divine Hours, the prayers have been changed for individual use. In the BCP, they are written for use in a group.
(Vineyard Church in Ann Arbor is using the Collect for the Sunday closest to August 31st.)
