My Daily Prayer
I believe in one God. I believe that God rewards the good, and punishes the wicked.I believe that in God there are three Divine Persons-God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
I believe that God the Son became Man, without ceasing to be God. I believe that He is my Lord and my Saviour Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of the human race, who died on the cross for the salvation of all men, who died also for me.
I believe, on God's authority, everything that He has taught and revealed.
O my God, give me strong faith. O my God, help me to believe with lively faith.
O my God, relying on your almighty power and infinite mercy and promises, I sincerely hope to be saved. Help me to do all that is necessary for my salvation.
I have committed many sins in my life, but now I turn away from them, and hate them. I am sorry, truly sorry for all for them, because I have offended You, my God, who art all-good, all-perfect, all-holy, all-merciful-my kind and loving Father.
I love You, o my God, with all my heart. Forgive me, I implore You, for having offended You.
I promise, O God, that with Your help I will never offend You again.
My God, have mercy on me.

• Prayers -- "Prayer is the mother and daughter of tears. It is an expiation of sin, a bridge across temptation, a bulwark against affliction. It wipes out conflict, is the work of angels, and is the nourishment of everything spiritual." - St. John Climacus, The ladder of Divine Ascent
