A Collect to Eschew Autonomy

Spirit of Righteousness, who gladly receives us and the work we offer, incline our hearts to offer our bodies to you for the holy works you have prepared for us, that we would not attempt to accomplish things in our own wisdom and strength, but would be empowered by you and your love to fulfill the divine will, through Jesus Christ who with the Father sent you to be our counselor and guide with infinite wisdom. Amen. ‘ For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification.’ – Romans 6:19
