Prayer

Prayer of Saint Ephrem the Syrian

Prayers for various needs

Addressing God as

O Lord and Master of my life, take from me the spirit of sloth, despondency, lust for power and idle talk.

Prostration.

Grant rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love to ThyYour servant.

Prostration.

Yes, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own faults and not to judge my brother, for blessed artare ThouYou unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prostration.

Then twelve bows from the waist, each with the words „O God, cleanse me a sinner,” and the whole prayer once more, with a final prostration.
