And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.                where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.                And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.                And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell;                where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

A Morning prayer of St. Paiosios the Great
   

O Lord Jesus Christ my God, give me a good, sinless, and spotless day.
O Lord, forsake me not.
O Lord, do not stand afar off from me
O Lord, stretch out to me a helping hand.
O Lord, support me with the fear of Thee.
O Lord, plant this fear and the love for Thee in my heart.
O Lord, teach me to do Thy will.
O Lord, grant mourning and humility to my heart.
O Lord, give me unceasing tears, compunction, and remembrance of death.
O Lord, free me from every temptation of soul and body.
O Lord, expel from me every unclean thought, and every shameful and improper imagination.
O Lord, wipe out of me the negligence, the indolence, the sorrow, the forgetfulness, the insensitivity, the hardness, and the captivity of my mind.
O Lord, have mercy on me, as Thou knowest and as Thou dost wish, and forgive all my transgressions.
And grant that my pitiful soul may depart from my wretched body in quietude, in good repentance, in unhesitating confession, and in pure and spotless faith.
Amen.
