An ancient prayer from Nerses of Clajes for mercy, protection, morning.
Lord Jesus Christ, Keeper and Preserver of all things, let Thy right hand guard us by day and by night, when we sit at home, and when we walk abroad, when we lie down and when we rise up, that we may be kept from all evil, and have mercy upon us sinners.
Amen.
This prayer is for mercy, protection, morning. It gives the request old words: fewer tricks, more flame.
Lord, hear this ancient prayer for mercy, protection, morning. Give mercy, strength, and a heart made faithful before Thee. Amen.
This prayer comes from the ancient church’s habit of asking directly: for mercy, for holiness, for protection, for light. It does not perform spirituality. It reaches for God.
Use it as written, or let it become a frame for the person and need in front of you.
Lord, hear this prayer in me: mercy, protection, morning.
Lord, remember [Name]. Give them mercy, protection, morning.
Lord, grant us together mercy, protection, morning, and keep us faithful before Thee.
It is for mercy, protection, morning.
