O Good Lord, Do Not Put Away My Petition.

O Good Lord, do not put away my petition.

Unworthy lips call out to You, along with an unclean heart and a soul polluted with sins.

O Lord, hear me, according to Your goodness.

Establish my heart with the fear of You.

Put my feet on the rock of repentance.

O Lord, let your goodness conquer my sinfulness.

Let the light of Your grace overpower the darkness that is within me.

O Lord, You opened the eyes of the blind man, open the darkened eyes of my heart.

You cleansed the lepers with Your word.

Cleanse the defilement in my soul.

O Lord, let Your grace be a fire within in, devouring my immoral thoughts.

You only are good.

You are the Light that excels every light.

You are the joy that excels every delight.

You are the Peace that excels all peace.

You are the true Life.

You are the Salvation that lasts forever.

I, who deserve every punishment, every possible torment, fall before You, O Good One, with my prayer.

O Redeemer, I entreat You, do not let the adversary grab me at the end.

O good and compassionate Lord, lift up my members which are paralyzed by sin.

Animate my soul killed by sin.

Enlighten my heart which is clouded by wicked passions. Save me from all evil works.

O Lord Jesus Christ, implant Your perfect love in me, and write the name of Your servant in the book of life.

Vouchsafe me a good end, so that having overcome the devil, I would bow down unashamed with the saints before the throne of Your kingdom. ​

Sometimes... things that feel good in the short term... are worse.
