Prayer before prayer

Saint Porphyrios recommends that we recite a prayer from the Divine Liturgy that comes before the reading of the Gospel before we pray. Here is my interpretation of this prayer:

Lord, enlighten my heart with Your divine light, illuminating the innermost part of my soul. 

I acknowledge Your authority and deep love for humanity, Your compassionate and benevolent nature. Enlighten me with Your divine truths, holiness, and wisdom. Transform me and lead me to a deeper relationship with You. 

Give me spiritual insight and perception to discern Your spiritual truths. Help me comprehend the teachings of the Gospel to understand how to live a life in accordance with Your will. I stand in awe and respect of Your commandments, recognizing their divine origin and authority. 

Help me struggle against my passions and sinful inclinations, attaining a decisive victory over these desires through Your help and my personal effort, so that I may lead a life guided by the Holy Spirit in harmony with Your will. 

Orient both my thoughts and actions towards pleasing You, maintaining a holistic approach to my spiritual life. 

I acknowledge You as the ultimate source of light and enlightenment for both my soul and body, embrace Your divine presence, desiring Your guidance, and sanctification.  

Have mercy on me.
