Текст песни Свт. Тихон Задонский - Молитва о возобновлении духовном

Prayer for spiritual renewal

“Jesus the Son of God, the Savior and Renewal of the world, wicked with the wickedness of sin! Renew to me the grace of the Life-giving Thy Spirit. Give me the mind to understand the power of Thy salvation. Give me a heart to love Thee - eternal love, comfort and joy of saints. Give me your eyes to constantly see Your passions. Give me ears to hear Your holy Word. Give me a verb of a verse You are pleasing, useful to me and my neighbor. Give me a walk in the path of thy commandments; and all mine, I pray to you, wean, and submit to yours; take the old, and give the new all, for Thou art all done, and without You “we cannot do nothing” (1 John 15: 5), as blessed be thou forever. Amen".

So you can, beloved Christian, reading the Holy Gospel and other Scriptures, build your mind and heart by faith in God and in His mercy to seek. There are many such touching prayers among church songs and irmosos of St. John of Damascus. Standing in the Church and diligently listening to reading, apply them to yourself and, with faith, seek out benefits for your soul. And know well that without diligent prayer all effort, especially in the spiritual, happens in vain.
