Almighty God, you have promised to hear the petitions of those who ask in the Name of your Son: Mercifully incline your ear to us as we make our prayers and supplications to you; and grant that what we ask faithfully, according to your will, we may obtain effectually, for the relief of our necessities and the setting forth of your glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

This prayer asks God to hear and answer the prayers we've just offered, in Jesus' name and according to his will. It first appeared in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, both among the \"Prayers and Thanksgivings\" and as the collect that concludes the Great Litany, and the ACNA 2019 Prayer Book carries it forward in updated language, among prayers for use \"At Times of Prayer and Worship.\"
