O Lord, grant me to greet the coming day
in peace, help me in all things to rely upon Your holy will.
In every hour of the day reveal Your will
to me. Bless my dealings will all who
surround me.
Teach me to treat all that comes to me
throughout the day with peace of soul and with 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 are sent by You.
Teach me to act firmly and wisely,
without embittering and embarrassing others.
Give me strength to beat the fatigue of
the coming day with all that it shall bring.
Direct my will, teach me to pray, and You,
Yourself, pray in me.
Amen.
Morning Prayer of Philaret of Moscow (1782-1867)
