I tend to worry about a lot of things. Prayer helps me not to worry so much.
And, to be honest, the Book of Common Prayer has most of the worries of life pretty well covered. But in cases where modern life has spawned new fears, troubles, and dangers, I sometimes compose new Collect prayers.
Here is one, which beseeches God to deliver us from identity theft. I humbly submit this for consideration for inclusion whenever the next legitimate BCP revision occurs!
O Almighty Father, who didst identify with mankind in the Incarnation of thy blessed son Jesus, vouchsafe to keep us from the trouble of identity theft; and, that we may spend our days in tranquility, grant to the perpetrators of the same repentance and the grace to find their true identity in thee. Amen.
