The Lenten Prayer of St. Ephrem 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 ages of ages.
 Amen.
