Spiritual Work Out for Men

I've decided I'm gonna put together a little spiritual advice section for guys out there. This will be geared toward younger guys, teens really, in how to develop a spiritual life that a man can enjoy. I'm sure others out there will benefit too . . . right now I'm going to start small . . . here is a prayer from St. Ephrem for our first few weeks . . .

Prayer for Strength in Weakness
Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, you have power over life and death. You know even things that are uncertain and obscure, and our very thoughts and feelings are not hidden from you. Cleanse me from my secret faults, and I have done wrong and you saw it. You know how weak I am, both in soul and in body. Give me strength, O Lord, in my frailty and sustain me in my sufferings. Grant me a prudent judgement, dear Lord, and let me always be mindful of your blessings. Let me retain until the end your grace that has protected me till now.

St Ephrem of Syria, Deacon, Poet and Doctor
