Matthew Green
A Collect For Contentment
Lord of All, who did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, teach us to be satisfied with our station, that we might not overreach what is good for us and harm ourselves and others in our folly, through you who emptied yourself in order to return to the Father and Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
'"[But the serpent said,] for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."' - Genesis 3:5
