See https://community.logos.com/forums/p/204083/1186920.aspx#1186920 for background and rationale. Please build a workflow that resembles the following steps:
1. Where is the prayer used? what is its history?
2. What is the attribute/action of God referenced? What is the Biblical basis of that attribute?
3. Why is that attribute appropriate to the petition i.e. how is the attribute of God related to what is being requested?
4. How do the attribute of God and the petition related to the lectionary readings? to other Biblical texts of the service?
5. How does the text of the collect integrate with the other portions of the service
This would help train us to see Scripture "in the wild" i.e. as we encounter it outside the confines of a cover.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
