The Prayer of Saint Macarius to the Most Holy Trinity

Arising from sleep I thank Thee, O Holy Trinity, because of the abundance of Thy goodness and longsuffering Thou wast not wroth with me, slothful and sinful as I am; neither has Thou destroyed me in my transgressions, but in Thy compassion raised me up as I lay in despair that at dawn I might sing the glories of Thy Majesty. Do Thou now enlighten the eyes of my understanding, open my mouth to receive Thy words, teach me Thy commandments, help me to do Thy will, confessing Thee from my heart, singing and praising Thine all-honorable and majestic name: of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
