Lord Jesus Christ, my God, weaken, forsake, cleanse and forgive me the sinful, and indecent, and unworthy servant of Thy sins, and transgressions, and my fall into sin, who have sinned from my youth, even to this day and hour: whether in reason and in foolishness, whether in words or in deeds, or in thoughts and thoughts, and endeavors, and all my feelings. And through the prayers of the seedless One who gave birth to Thee, the Most Pure and Ever-Virgin Mary, Thy Mother, the only shameless hope and intercession and salvation of mine, grant me to uncondemnedly partake of Thy most pure, immortal, life-giving and terrible Mysteries, for the remission of sins and eternal life; for sanctification and enlightenment, strength, healing and health of soul and body, and for the consumption and complete destruction of my evil thoughts, and thoughts, and enterprises, and the nightly dreams of dark and crafty spirits; For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, and the honor, and the worship, with the Father and Thy Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Elika – here: with whom. Consumption is destruction. Destruction - destruction. Enterprises - here: ideas (that is, what appears to the mind's eye, but has not yet been accepted into the mind and heart). Night dreams of dark and crafty spirits - night visions of dark and evil spirits.

+ Into the consumption and complete destruction of my evil thoughts, and thoughts, and enterprises, and the nightly dreams of dark and crafty spirits... Here special emphasis is placed on the fact that the communion of the Holy Mysteries is the most powerful weapon in the fight against thoughts. Therefore, everyone for whom this struggle is relevant and painful, as well as everyone who is tormented by dreams, night terrors and other attacks of the “mental enemy,” should read this prayer with special attention and feeling.
