Give Us, O Lord, A Steadfast Heart

Give us, O Lord, a steadfast heart,
which no unworthy affection may drag downwards;
Give us an unconquered heart,
which no tribulation can wear out;
Give us an upright heart,
which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside.

Bestow upon us also,
O Lord our God, understanding to know you,
Diligence to seek you,
Wisdom to find you,
and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Give us, O Lord, a steadfast heart

Insightful Commentary:

Renew your strength,
cling steadfastly to your heart
and his unwavering love
and goodness for you.
