[wellmidff]

Lord, may I face with peace of mind all that the coming day will bring me. Grant me to fully surrender to Your holy will at every hour of today, guide and support me in everything, reveal Your will to me and those around me.

Teach me, O Lord, to act directly and intelligently with every name in my society and family (in the monastery of the brotherhood), without embarrassing or upsetting anyone, but comforting, helping and pleasing everyone.

Whatever news I receive during the day, teach me to accept it with a calm soul and the firm conviction that all is Your holy will.

Guide my thoughts and feelings in all my actions and words, and in all unforeseen cases, do not let me forget that everything was sent by You.

Lord, give me the strength to endure the fatigue of the coming day and all the events during that day.

Guide my will and teach me to pray to You, Lord, to believe, to hope, to endure, to forgive and to love.

Amen.

"Despondency means the same laziness, only worse. You'll weaken in body and spirit from despondency. You don't want to work or pray, you go to church with neglect, and the whole person weakens"

St. Ambrose of Optina (Grenkov)

"Једног ти недостаје: иди, све што имаш, Продај и раздај сиромашнима, и имаћеш благо на небу; и дођи, дођи за мном, узевши крст"

"Blessed is the one who is able to sincerely confess: my strength is insignificant, my mind is weak, my will is unstable. Lord, help me!"
