Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day: Preserve us with your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (From the BCP, page 100)
Today (September 6) is a feria, a day without a specific celebration on the church calendar, so we offer a collect for grace from the Daily Office of Morning Prayer. Anglican priest (and founder of Methodism) John Wesley preached an important sermon God’s grace 1740; you can read it at this page of the United Methodist Church’s website.
