Hourly Prayers of Saint John Chrysostom

A set of 24 short prayers attributed to St John Chrysostom. The shortness is deliberate –– when it comes to personal devotion, many of the Fathers teach the efficacy of an "arrow prayer" that is easily remembered and easily meant whole-heartedly.
They are, like the day's hours, divided into two sections of twelve apiece.

1:00 a.m. O Lord, deprive me not of Thy heavenly blessings;

6:00 a.m. O Lord, enlighten my heart darkened by evil desires;

10:00 p.m. O Lord, vouchsafe that I may love Thee with all my heart and soul, and that I may obey in all things Thy will;

11:00 p.m. O Lord, shield me from evil persons and devils and passions and all other lawless matters;

12:00 a.m. O Lord, Who knowest Thy creation and that which Thou hast willed for it; may Thy will also be fulfilled in me, a sinner, for Thou art blessed forevermore.

Amen.
