Prayer of St. Ephrem The Syrian

Lord and Master of my Life:
Take from me the spirit of sloth,
Despondency, lust for power, and idle talk.
And give your servant instead
A spirit of chastity, humility, forbearing, and love.
O Lord my King,
Grant that I might see my own shortcomings
And not judge my fellows:
For blessed are you to the ages of ages.
Amen.
