The Prayer of the Stoic

In a follow up post, Peter described my response as a Prayer. Inspired by that, I have adjusted the post to be read as such, to accompany my morning prayers.

By my faith in logos, my trust in phusis and my hope of eudaimonia, may I gain the courage to face the world and its visicitudes.

Through acting virtuously, towards virtuous ends, for virtue's sake, may I be granted the serenity of knowing that I am in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing.

As I subject appearances to hesitation, acts to reservation, and practice to examination, may I receive the wisdom upon which to build my days.
