Prayer for Joy and Gladness: The Clementine Liturgy link

Blessed are You, O Lord, who has nourished me from my youth up, who gives food to all flesh.
Fill our hearts with joy and gladness. that we, always having all sufficiency in all things,
may abound to every good work in Christ Jesus our Lord, through whom to You be
glory, honor, might, majesty, and dominion, forever and ever.
AMEN.

A prayer of Basil of Caesarea 329-379 AD link

Steer the ship of my life, good Lord, to your quiet harbour,
where I can be safe from the storms of sin and conflict.
Show me the course I should take. Renew in me the gift of discernment,
so that I can always see the right direction in which I should go.
And give me the strength and the courage to choose the right course,
even when the sea is rough and the waves are high,
knowing that through enduring hardship and danger
in your name we shall find comfort and peace.
AMEN

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
forever and ever.
Amen.

Benediction: Ephesians 3:20–21 NIV

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,
according to his power that is at work within us,
 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations,
for ever and ever!
Amen.
