Give us wisdom, Lord, to clearly understand our challenges. Give us insight, Lord, to devise solutions inspired by your holy will. Give us courage, Lord, to pursue the course of action you reveal to us. Give us diligence, Lord, to 2016-06-18 House Journal Page 3120 perform our labors thoroughly. Give us humility, Lord, to accept that we can only do our best. Give us patience, Lord, to accept that our destiny unfolds on your schedule, not ours. And finally, Lord, give us grace, for when we fall short of our ideals. I pray these things, trusting in your everlasting love, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
