I'm learning some new ways to approach God in prayer. One of those ways is through something called a Collect. A Collect is a form of prayer that is used in many churches, and is often prayed "collectively."
Today I was reading a book called UnChurched, which led me to pray for God to reveal his power to those who do not know Him. I am firmly convinced that people need to experience the power of God.
Jesus said the following words as a statement of our weakness of faith, but I believe it is also a recognition of the state of our hearts. "Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders, you will never believe." (John 4:48)

So, with all of this said, let me share with you the Collect I prayed today...
"Stir up your power, O Lord, and with great might come among us: and, because we are sorely hindered by our sins, let your bountiful grace and merc speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
