O God,
our maker and source of comfort and stability,
in times of great waiting, tumult, and uncertainty,
we come before you humbly in prayer.
Guide our daily footsteps,
and give us always the helping patience of your grace,
so that we may seek to be
a source of light and uniting grace in this world,
your beloved creation,
through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
One God, now and forevermore.
Amen.

I’m gratified that you are writing collects!
