by Thy Grace that I may make a good beginning.

8th Prayer, to our Lord Jesus Christ
O Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God, for the sake of Thy most honorable
Mother, Thy bodiless Angels, Thy Prophet, Forerunner and Baptist, the
Divinely inspired Apostles, the bright and victorious Martyrs, the
venerable and God-bearing Fathers and all the Saints: deliver me from
this present assault of the devil. Yea, O Lord my Creator, Who desirest
not the death of the sinner, but that he should return to Thee and live:
grant repentance to me, wretched and unworthy. Snatch me from the jaws of
the consuming serpent, its mouth opened to devour me and take me down to
hell alive. Yea, my Lord and my Comfort, Who didst put on corruptible
flesh for my wretched sake: deliver me from wretchedness and bring
comfort to my wretched soul. Implant in my heart the accomplishment of
Thy precepts, the abandonment of evil deeds and the obtainment of Thy
blessings. In Thee, O Lord, have I trusted: save me!
9th Prayer, to the Most Holy Theotokos,
by Peter, the Studite monk
