you have power over life and death.
You know what is uncertain and obscure,and our thoughts and feelings
are no secret from you.
Cleanse me from my hidden faults,
for I have done evil and you have seen it.
Day by day my life draws nearer to its end.
You know how frail I am, in soul and in body.
Give me strength, Lord, in my weakness
and uphold me in my sufferings.
Amen.
- St. Ephrem the Syrian

Amen. I especially needed to pray those last few lines this morning.
