God, in your name save me and judge me in your power. God, hear my prayer, inspire the words of my mouth: for strangers rose up against me, and sought my soul with strength, and did not offer God before me. Behold, God helps me, and the Lord is the protector of my soul: he will turn away the evil of my enemy: consume them with your truth. I will eat it for you; I will confess to your name, O Lord, that it is good: for you have delivered me from all sorrow, and my eye has looked upon my enemies.
Eternal God and Father! Grant me Your Spirit of power, may He strengthen me in my weakness, may He strengthen me and make me steadfast, so that neither sorrow, nor persecution, nor nakedness separate me from Your love, but that I I overcame for the sake of Him who loved me. Grant that I may show myself in everything as a servant of Christ, with great patience in adversities, in needs, in difficult circumstances, in wounds, in prisons, in labors, in vigils, in fasting, with purity, with with knowledge, with patience, with kindness, with the Holy Spirit, with unfeigned love, with the word of truth, with the power of God; may I follow Him in honor and dishonor, amidst censure and praise; willingly with Him and for the sake of His name, allowing myself to be mocked here, for He, if I remain faithful to death, will crown me with the crown of life. Amen.
