Fifth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Collect (Children’s Reboot)

God, you are like a tree trunk

and we are like your branches.

We belong with you and you

look after us and help us grow.

Please help us as we find out

what work we can do for you

in your wonderful world.

Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 6.78 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 33.73 years.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a reboot.

My collection of five prayers for the Fifth Sunday after Trinity Sunday are here.

The project runs from Advent 2012.

If you want to use the prayers, an acknowledgement of myself as author and, if there's space, the link to my blog would be much appreciated.
