St. Ephrem's Prayer for Great Lent

The Lenten Prayer
of St. Ephrem

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

Grant rather a spirit of chastity,
humility, patience, and love
to me Thy servant.

O Lord and King,
grant me to see my own errors, and not to judge my brother,
for blessed art Thou unto the Ages of ages. Amen.
