Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
(Book of Common Prayer, Collect for Fifth Sunday in Lent)

thank you for this. Beautiful words, ‘ that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found;’ . I need to remember that this is why I fix my heart on Christ.

I just loved this prayer today. No matter what changes the world brings our way, we need to keep focused on the One who keeps us steady.
