I’m curious how this would work out. Rather than a prayer intentions thread, let’s have a thread where we can share prayers with each other, in accordance with a general theme. Today’s theme: Prayers upon awakening.
Having risen from sleep, we fall down before thee, O Good One, and the angelical hymn we cry aloud to thee, O Mighty One: Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, O God; Through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
From bed and sleep hast thou raised me up, O Lord; enlighten my mind and heart, and open my lips that I may hymn Thee, O Holy Trinity; Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou, O God; through the Theokos, have mercy on us.
Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Suddenly the judge shall come, and the deeds of each shall be made bare; but with fear do we cry at midnight; Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou, O God; through the Theotokos, have mercy on us.
As I rise from sleep, I thank thee, O Holy Trinity, for through thy great goodness and patience thou was not wroth with me, and idler and sinner, nor hast thou destroyed me with mine iniquities, but hast shown thy usual love for mankind; and when I was prostrate in despair, thou hast raised me up to keep the morning watch and glorify thy power. And now enlighten my mind’s eye, and open my mouth that I may meditate on thy words, and understand thy commandments, and do thy will, and hymn thee in heartfelt confession, and sing praises to thine all-holy name: Of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Glory to thee, O King, almighty God, who through thy divine and man-befriending providence hast vouchsafed me, a sinner and an unworthy one, to rise from sleep and obtain entry into thy holy house. Receive, O Lord, the voice of my supplication even as though dost accept that of thy Holy and noetic hosts, and deign that through my defiled lips, but from a pure heart and humble spirit, praise may be offered to thee, so that I also, with the bright lamp of my soul, may become a companion of the wise virgins and glorify thee, O God the Word, who art glorified in the Father and the Spirit. Amen.
Having risen from sleep, I offer unto thee, O Saviour, the midnight hymn, and falling down I cry unto thee: Grant me not to fall asleep in the death of sin, but have compassion upon me, O thou who east voluntarily crucified, and hasten to raise me who am reclining in idleness, and save me in prayer and intercession; and, after the night’s sleep shine upon me a sinless day, O Christ God, and save me.
