Make Us Strong In You, O God

Almighty God, we humbly pray that you make us strong that we might serve you faithfully.  Give us strength of body,that we may do our work well and cheerfully and bear the burdens of others.  Give us strength of mind, that we may fearlessly accept your truth and faithfully hold to it.  Give us strength of heart, that we may love you with all our powers and love our neighbor as ourselves.  Increase our faith, that we may trust in your promises and keep fast our hold on Jesus Christ our Savior.  In Jesus' Name we pray.  Amen.
