O Lord and master of my life! A spirit of idleness, despondency, ambition and idle talking, give me not.   But rather, a spirit of chastity, humble-mindedness, patience and charity, bestow upon me Thy servant.  Yea, my king and Lord, grant me to see my own failings and refrain from judging others: For blessed art Thou unto ages of ages. Amen.  Wikipedia Link
