The prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian, a prayer dating back to the fourth century:
O Lord and Master of my Life,
Take away from me the spirit of laziness,
faint-heartedness, lust for power, and idle talk.
+
Instead grant me, your servant,
the spirit of purity, humility, patience, and love.
+
Yes, Lord and King,
give me the power to see my own faults
and not to judge my brother.
For You are blessed unto ages of ages. Amen.
