To the Distinguished and Dear Members of the Byzantine Forum: Here is a Prayer for Increasing Our Service To the Church. It is my hope that many will benefit from it. Slava Isusu Khrstu!
Lord God and Savior, Jesus Christ, You walked the streets of Palestine spreading the word of forgiveness and peace. You cured many and taught them about God's kingdom. You offered Yourself in humble sacrifice and rose in glory on the third day. You ascended into heaven and then sent the Holy Spirit, the most pure Virgin Mary and the holy apostles to strengthen them for service in the Church. With the help of your grace, they responded to uncertainty with faith, to hardship with courage, and to the needs of others with selfless service. Now we ask that You continue to impart the gifts of wisdom and counsel to those who are called to serve the Church. Enkindle in us the fire of your zeal. Give us hearts ready to hear, and to joyfully respond to the needs of others. Grant us fortitude, patience and obedience. Help us to be attentive and open to the possibility of increasing our service to the Church. Grant us to be one with you Our God that, through our daily work, we may build your kingdom of peace, freedom and love. For you are our God, and we worship and glorify You always, now and forever. Amen
John Doucette

I am assuming your really mean "Prayer for Increasing Our Service to the Churches" since the Forum includes both Eastern Orthodox and Catholics.
