[tabitha]

Eternal God, Holy King, Maker of Heaven and Earth,
Jesus Christ, Son without beginning of the Father without beginning,
Who with incomprehensible goodness hast called me from nonbeing to this life,
Who hast granted to me the blessing of baptism and heavenly rebirth
and hast set the seal of Thy Holy Spirit on the members of my body,
as Thou hast kindled the desire to seek after Thee, the ONLY ONE TRUE GOD,
Hear now my prayer.

Neither life nor light nor joy have I,
neither wisdom nor strength except Thee, O God,
I am not worthy to look upon Thee,
for the multitude of my sins.
But as Thou hast said the Thy disciples,
"Whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing, ye will receive",
and "If ye ask anything in My name, I will do it",
in daring I call to Thee.
Cleanse me of every impurity of flesh and spirit
and teach me how to pray to Thee worthily.

Bless this day which Thou hast given me,
Thy unworthy servant, and with the power of Thy blessing,
permit me at all times, and in every place, with pure heart,
to speak and act unto Thy glory, with patience, wise humility and love,
in the spirit of peace, meekness, magnanimity and wisdom,
and to regard Thee before my own needs.
Make known to me, O Lord, the way of Thy will,
according to Thy boundless goodness,
and grant me to walk blamelessly before Thy face.
