Lenten prayer from St. Ephraim the Syrian

O Lord and Master of my life

take from me the spirit of sloth
faint-heartedness,
lust of power

and idle talk.

But give rather the spirit of chastity,

humility,
patience,

and love to thy servant.

Yea, O Lord and King
grant me to see my own errors

and not to judge my brother;

for Thou art blessed unto the ages of ages.

Amen.
