Our visiting lecturer is a Greek Orthodox Monk in/near Beaverton. He introduced a prayer to us I deeply desire to remember. It is accredited to Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow (1782 - 1867).
O Lord, grant that I may greet the coming day in peace.
Help me to rely
upon Your holy will.
In every hour of every day, reveal Your will to me.
Bless my association with those who surround me.
Teach me to treat all
that comes to me with peace of soul
& the firm conviction that Your
will governs all.
In all my deeds and words, guide my thoughts and
feelings.
In unforeseen events, let me not forget that all is sent by
You.
Teach me to act firmly and wisely,
Without embittering or
embarrassing others.
Grant me to bear the fatigue of the coming day with
all that it shall bring.
Direct my will.
Teach me to pray.
Pray
Yourself within me.
Amen
