Orthodox Prayer


O Lord, grant me to greet
     the coming day in peace.

Help me in all things
    to rely upon Your Holy Will.

In every hour of the day
    reveal Your Will to me.

Bless my dealings
    with all who surround me.

Teach me to treat all that comes to me
    with peace of soul and with firm conviction
        that Your Will governs all.

In all my deeds and words,
    guide my thoughts and feelings.

In unforeseen events let me not forget
    that all are sent by You.

Teach me to act lovingly, firmly and wisely,
    without embittering or embarrassing others.

Grant me strength to bear
    the fatigues of the coming day.

Direct my will,
    teach me to pray,
        pray You Yourself in me.

                                                                                         Amen
