4th Sunday before Lent, Collect (Redub)

O God,
you know we find 
threat and opportunity,
strength and weakness,
within us and around us.
There is sometimes so much of this
we don’t know which way is up.
Give us both strength to be
and protection as we seek to transform
our world, one small step at a time,
through Jesus Christ our rescuer.
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 9.8 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 32.74 years.

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

The 4th Sunday before Lent Collection of 5 prayers is here.

You can also look at the full Index of Prayers.

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.
