A Collect to Eschew That Which Distracts from God

Spirit of the living God, who speaks to us in our hearts and through your mastery of creation, keep us from becoming overly attached to anything that draws us away from you, that we would not be led astray but would cling to you in trust and dependence always, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who is the perfect image of the Father and in full possession of you, the Spirit. Amen. ‘You know that when you were pagans, you were enticed and led astray to idols that could not speak.’ – 1 Cor. 12:2
