O Lord Jesus Christ,
our God, in Thy mercies and lovingkindness 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.
