Prayer to serve God with your whole heart

Sometimes we may want to serve God, but not feel that we have the strength to follow through with our desires.

We may be weak and fall easily into temptation, making it difficult to follow God’s will.

Here is the collect prayer from the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time that asks God for the grace to serve him with your whole heart.

Look upon us, Lord, creator and ruler of the whole world:
give us grace to serve you with all our heart
that we may come to know the power of your forgiveness and love.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

Amen.
