Prayer On Thanksgiving Day ☦️
Holy God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who didst ordain under the law a festival of in-gathering at the end of the year, who art thyself the Lord of the harvest at the end of the age: we thank thee for gathering us, as we come to the end of the year, to thank thee for all thy blessings. First we give thee thanks that thou hast made us capable of thanking thee, and so made us capable of salvation and eternal joy. Though no words suffice to hymn thy wonders, yet we thank thee for all the beauties of thy creation, both the invisible and angelic creation and the world of visible creation: the heavenly bodies, the elements that make up the earth, the living creatures that inhabit it, and especially our fellow man. We thank thee that through this creation thou hast given us to know thee. And we thank thee for the breath of life thou hast given us, and for the gift of time, this age in which we can repent and grow.
Holy Mighty, everlasting Son of the Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, who art thyself the Sower of all good seed: we thank thee that thou hast sown in our hearts the good seed of the word. We thank thee for thy statutes and thy commandments, which thou hast delivered through thy prophets and apostles that we might live in accordance with thee. We thank thee for thy most pure Mother and all thy saints, in whom thou art present to us, and by whose prayers thou dost deliver us from difficulties, passions, and temptations. We thank thee for all of thy mysteries: thy Birth and Baptism, thy entrance into Jerusalem, thy Passion and Death upon the Cross, thy third-day Resurrection, thy Ascension into heaven and Sitting at the right hand. We thank thee for thy Second Coming, when thou shalt come again in glory. And we thank thee for thy holy Church, thy Bride, whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious Blood, and for whose sake thou shalt come again.
Holy Immortal, Spirit of God, who art thyself the Storehouse of blessings: we thank thee that thou hast stirred us up to thanksgiving for all the gifts of God in Christ Jesus. Come and abide in us and make us worthy to render thanks always, in every time and place and circumstance, both for those blessings we have been given and for those still to come. Make our prayer acceptable as we offer thanks for this holiday of thanksgiving [and this meal of thanksgiving; for those gathered with us to celebrate], and for all our family and our friends, for this community and this country, and for thy whole world. Help us to grow in faith, hope, and love in Jesus Christ our Lord, and not to grow weary in well-doing, that the harvest of our righteousness might be enlarged, when we shall in due season reap the reward of our works, to the glory of God the Father, to whom be all honor, glory, and thanksgiving, from all and for all, with His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and with thee, O Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Not much content out there specifically addressing the Christian Nationalism niche from the perspective of an Orthodox Christian.
This video is decent: https://youtu.be/n2r7O7zszqA?si=-iC78kLboQFMktk-

Good point, thank you for the clarification. Maybe then the only significant attack vector this would mitigate would either be video (seeing the 12 words typed) or some sort of sound based key logger that could be on your phone or another device in the room.

Pro tip: latest version of Sparrow wallet (1.8.6) allows you to import your Samourai.txt backup file instead of your seed words. Only then need to enter your passphrase to decrypt it. Much better in case you do have some key logging software on your computer.

A very old Christian prayer (4th century), many attribute to Saint Patrick of Ireland, called Saint Patrick’s Breastplate:
“I arise today through a mighty strength, the invocation of the
Trinity, through belief in the Threeness, through confession
of the Oneness of the Creator of creation.
I arise today through the strength of Christ with His Baptism,
through the strength of His Crucifixion with His Burial
through the strength of His Resurrection with His Ascension,
through the strength of His descent for the Judgment of Doom.
I arise today through the strength of the love of Cherubim
in obedience of Angels, in the service of the Archangels,
in hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
in prayers of Patriarchs, in predictions of Prophets,
in preachings of Apostles, in faiths of Confessors,
in innocence of Holy Virgins, in deeds of righteous men.
I arise today, through the strength of Heaven:
light of Sun, brilliance of Moon, splendour of Fire,
speed of Lightning, swiftness of Wind, depth of Sea,
stability of Earth, firmness of Rock.
I arise today, through God's strength to pilot me:
God's might to uphold me, God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me, God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me, God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me, God's shield to protect me,
God's host to secure me:
against snares of devils, against temptations of vices,
against inclinations of nature, against everyone who
shall wish me ill, afar and anear, alone and in a crowd.
I summon today all these powers between me (and these evils):
against every cruel and merciless power that may oppose
my body and my soul,
against incantations of false prophets,
against black laws of heathenry,
against false laws of heretics, against craft of idolatry,
against spells of witches and smiths and wizards,
against every knowledge that endangers man's body and soul.
Christ to protect me today
against poison, against burning, against drowning,
against wounding, so that there may come abundance of reward.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right,
Christ on my left, Christ in breadth, Christ in length,
Christ in height, Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me.
I arise today through a mighty strength, the invocation of the
Trinity, through belief in the Threeness, through confession of the
Oneness of the Creator of creation.
Salvation is of the Lord. Salvation is of the Lord.
Salvation is of Christ. May Thy Salvation, O Lord, be ever with us.“

Respectfully, I would encourage you to take your questions and issues with Orthodoxy, visit your local Orthodox Christian parish, and talk to a priest.
I was in a very similar position being Proteatant for 25+ years before God softened my heart and my wife and I decided to go inquire about this Orthodoxy thing, not from internet apologists, but an Orthodox priest himself.
