Our Morning Offering – 23 January

Twenty-four Hour Prayer of St John Chrysostum

[1]    O Lord, deprive me not of Your heavenly blessings. [2]    O Lord, deliver me from eternal torment. [3]    O Lord, if I have sinned in my mind or thought, in word or deed, forgive me. [4]    O Lord, deliver me from every ignorance and heedlessness, from pettiness of the soul and stony hardness of heart. [5]    O Lord, deliver me from every temptation. [6]    O Lord, enlighten my heart darkened by evil desires. [7]    O Lord, I, being a human being, have sinned; You, being God, forgive me in Your loving kindness, for You know the weakness of my soul, [8]    O Lord, send down Your grace to help me, that I may glorify Your holy Name. [9]    O Lord Jesus Christ, inscribe me, Your servant, in the Book of Life and grant me a blessed end. [10]   O Lord my God, even if I have done nothing good in Your sight, yet grant me, according to Your grace, that I may make a start in doing good. [11]   O Lord, sprinkle on my heart the dew of Your grace. [12]   O Lord of heaven and earth remember me, Your sinful servant, cold of heart and impure, in Your kingdom. [13]   O Lord, receive me in repentance. [14]   O Lord, leave me not. [15]   O Lord, save me from temptation. [16]   O Lord, grant me pure thoughts. [17]   O Lord, grant me tears of repentance, remembrance of death and the sense of peace. [18]   O Lord, grant me mindfulness to confess my sins. [19]   O Lord, grant me humility, charity and obedience. [20]   O Lord, grant me magnanimity and gentleness. [21]   O Lord, implant in me the root of all blessings, the fear of You in my heart. [22]   O Lord, vouchsafe that I may love You with all my heart and soul and that I may obey in all things Your will. [23]   O Lord, shield me form evil persons and devils and passions and all other lawless matters. [24]   O Lord, who knows Your creation and that which You have willed for it, may Your will also be fulfilled in me, a sinner, for You are blessed forevermore. Amen.
