Lenten Prayer

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

But give rather a spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love to Thy servant.  
(Prostration)

Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own transgressions and not to judge my brother, for blessed are Thou unto ages of ages. Amen.  
(Prostration)

St Ephraim the Syrian's Prayer.
