Lord, let your loving-kindness be upon them; Who put their trust in you.

Is this a conditional? Are we praying that receipt of loving-kindness require trust?

Or is it a declaration? Saying essentially: "We trust in you, let us know your loving-kindness"

Whatever the intent, I expect there is some innate conditionality. We will experience God's loving-kindness to the extent we are able to trust.

We might also pray, "Extend, deepen, and make whole our trust in you, dear God. Lead us in learning how to depend on your love."

Love is known through relationship, mutual openness, and an interweaving of will and purpose.
