Lenten Prayer of St Ephraim the SyrianO Lord and Master of my life, Do not give to me the spirit of laziness, faintheartedness, lust for power, and idle talk. But give to me, Your servant, the spirit of purity, humility, patience and love. O Lord and King, grant me to see my own faults and not to judge my brother or sister, for blessed are You unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer of Metropolitan Philaret of MoscowO Lord, I do not know what to ask of You.You alone know what are my true needs.You love me more than I myself know how to love.Help me to see my real needs which are concealed from me.I do not dare to ask either for a cross or for consolation.I can only wait on You.Visit and help me, for the sake of Your great mercy.Strike me and heal me; cast me down and raise me up.I worship in silence Your holy will and Your unsearchable ways.I offer myself as a sacrifice to You.I have no other desire than to seek to fulfill Your will.Teach me to pray. Pray You Yourself in me. Amen
