Prayer of the Optina Elder's Prayer at the beginning of the day 16x25 cm

Lord, give me the peace of mind to meet all that will bring me the coming day. Allow me to surrender completely to the will of your Holy One. In every hour of this day, instruct and support me in everything. Whatever I receive from the news during the day, teach me to take them with a calm soul and a firm conviction that everything is Your Holy Will. In all my words and deeds, manage my thoughts and feelings. In all unforeseen cases, do not let me forget that everything is sent down by You. Teach me to act directly and sensibly with every member of my family, not embarrassing or upsetting anyone. Lord, give me the strength to bear the fatigue of the coming day and all events during the day. Lead my will and teach me to pray, believe, hope, tolerate, forgive and love. Amen.
