A Lenten Prayer

From this morning's service:
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.

There is so much depth in the few words of this prayer that it would take many more to unpack it; more is not always better. I especially love the part that asks for grace to desire what He promises and love what He commands.
