Unruly Wills

This is one of my favorite prayers from the Book of Common Prayer. It is the collect for the fifth Sunday in Lent.

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 forever. Amen.

Yes, me too, Grace. I'm pretty sure *everyone* needs to have it on their walls.
