A Morning Prayer: Syrian Clementine Liturgy) link
O God, Who are the unsearchable abyss of peace, the ineffable sea of love, the fountain of blessings,
and the bestower of affection, Who sends peace to those that receive it; open to us this day the sea of Your love,
and water us with the plenteous streams from the riches of Your grace.
Make us children of quietness, and heirs of peace. Kindle in us the fire of Your love; sow in us Your fear; s
trengthen our weakness by Your power; bind us closely to You and each other in one firm bond of unity; for the sake of Jesus Christ.
AMEN.
Prayer of Clement of Rome, bishop, died in A.D. 99 or 101 link
May God, who sees all things, and who is the Ruler of all spirits and the Lord of all flesh
– who chose our Lord Jesus Christ and us through Him to be a peculiar people
– grant to every soul that calls upon His glorious and holy Name, faith, peace, patience,
long-suffering, self-control, purity, and sobriety, to the well-pleasing of His Name,
through our High Priest and Protector, Jesus Christ, by whom be to Him glory,
and majesty, and power, and honor, both now and forevermore.
AMEN.
A prayer of Basil of Caesarea 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

Benediction.—Ephesians 3:20–21
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,
according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church
and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.
Amen
