O Lord Jesus Christ, our God,
in Thy mercies and loving kindness Thou regardest the humble prayers of all who
call upon Thee with their whole heart; incline Thine ear and hear now my
prayer, offered to Thee in humility:
Be Mindful, O Lord, of Thy Holy, Universal and Apostolic Church; confirm and
strengthen her, increase her and keep her in peace, and preserve her
unconquerable forever.
Be mindful, O Lord, of our bishop (your bishop's name), and of every
bishop of the Orthodox Church; the priests and deacons, and all the clergy of
the Church, which Thou hast established to feed the flock of Thy word; and by
their prayers have mercy upon me and save me, a sinner.
Be mindful, O Lord, of all civil authorities, of our armed forces, of this
city in which we reside, and of every city and the countryside; grant them
peaceful times, that we, in their tranquility, may lead a calm and peaceful
life in all godliness and sanctity.
Be mindful, O Lord, of my parents, (their names), of my brothers and
sisters, (their names), of relatives, (their names), and of my
friends, (their names); grant that they may have mercy, life, peace,
health, salvation and visitation, pardon and remission of their sins; that they
may ever praise and glorify Thy Holy Name.
Be mindful, O Lord, of those who travel by land, by sea, and by air; of the
old and young, the sick, the suffering, the sorrowing, the afflicted, the
captives, the needy and the poor; and upon them all send forth Thy mercies, for
Thou art the Giver of all good things.
Be mindful, O Lord, of me, Thy humble servant; grant me Thy grace, that I
may be diligent and faithful, avoiding evil company and influence, resisting
temptation; that I may lead a godly and righteous life, blameless and peaceful,
ever serving Thee; that I may be accounted worthy of entering the Kingdom of Heaven.
Amen.
