[lightman]

An antidote from the Christian East--the Prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian:

O Lord and Master of my life, take from me the spirit of sloth, despair, lust of power, and idle talk.
(Prostration)

But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to Your servant. .
(Prostration)

Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own transgressions, and not to judge my brother, for blessed are You, unto ages of ages. Amen.
(Prostration)

[Salvation]

Excellent!
