Lenten Prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian

Posted on March 20, 2011 by literarylee

(This is a prayer Orthodox Christians pray during Lent.

Oh 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,

Oh Lord and King, grant me to see my own faults and not to judge my brother, for blessed are you unto ages of ages. Amen

I sling words for a living. Always have, always will. Some have been interesting and fun; most not. These days, I write the fun words early in the morning before the adults are up and make me eat my Cream of Wheat.
