Almighty God,
Who raises up those who are bowed down
and humbles those who exalt themselves,
Teach us to take the way of service,
that our lives might rightly reflect the selflessness of our Savior
and our witness might lead with humble love;
all this we ask through Jesus, the Servant King,
Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
One God, uninterrupted in love and holiness,
Amen.
