Elizabeth Fry, Renewer of Society

O God, your Son came among us to serve and not to be served, and to give life his life for the life of the world. Lead us by his love to serve all those to whom the world offers no comfort and little help. Through us give hope to the hopeless, love to the unloved, peace to the troubled, and rest to the weary, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, one God, now and forever. Amen.
(Evangelical Lutheran Worship)

9 He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
   He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10 He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?
    He who teaches man knowledge—
11 the LORD—knows the thoughts of man,
     that they are but a breath.
12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD,
     and whom you teach out of your law,
13 to give him rest from days of trouble,
     until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the LORD will not forsake his people;
     he will not abandon his heritage;
Psalm 94 – English Standard Version
