Grant unto me ,my Lord,that with peace in mind I may face all this new day is to bring.Grant unto me grace to surrender myself completely to Your holy will.Instruct and prepare me in all things for every hour of this day.Whatsoever tidings I may receive during the day,teach me to accept them calmly,in the firm conviction that all eventualities fulfill You holy will.Govern my thoughts and feelings in all I do and say.When things unforseen occur,let me not forget that all comes down from you.Teach me to behave sincerely and reasonably toward every member of my family and all other human beings,that I may not cause confusion and sorrow to anyone.Bestow upon me,my Lord,strength to endure the fatigue of the day and to bear my share in all its passing events.Guide my will and teach me to pray,to believe,to hope,to suffer,to forgive and to love. Amen.
(from Prayer Book,The Serbian Orthodox Church).
