Do you have a favorite prayer, mantra, etc? I like the "Alcoholics Anonymous" prayer to be honest, because it has a great message and anyone can live by it.

I've never heard of that one, do you think you could send it to me in a message?

I have heard this prayer a time or two and I agree that it is very nice. My favorite prayer is definitely Psalm 139. It is very good, read it, it will bless you.

hello bargaingirl

to say that i have a favorite prayer, not that i can think of and i am not familiar with the alcoholics anonymous prayer but i bet that it is lovely indeed. would you be kind enough to post it here for all of us at Mylot? thanks.

but as for praying goes, i pray on a daily basis and i do not believe that you have to be a member of a church just to be able to pray. you know? i find that when i pray on a daily basis that my life is wonderful and goes smoothly for the most part.

have a beautiful day!

RL, here is the prayer I mentioned. I believe the actual title is the "Serenity Prayer"

God, Grant me the Serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
the Courage to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom to know the difference.

I agree with you, I don't think you have to belong to a certain affiliation to pray. I just like to reflect on all the goodness I have been given, but I like to do it privately. I don't feel the need for the world to know my beliefs.

Thanks for responding!

I don't have a favorite one, I guess b/c I do not repeat myself, I just talk to God like I'm talking to someone. Now I do love some very popular ones, like the Serenity Prayer, and I love to hear the little ones recite the God is great, God is good prayer, and Now I lay me down to sleep. I love your discussion topic, hope you are having a very blessed, wonderful weekend my friend :)

I agree, sometimes when I pray it is not a formal prayer or anything, it is just my thoughts! I like the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep prayer too although it is kinda morbid! "If I die before I wake..."

I like the Serenity Prayer but have altered it somewhat to fit my diety and my preference.
"Goddess grant me the strength to change the things I can
The patience to accept the things I cannot
And the widsdom to know the difference."

I also have a personal 'mantra' of which I remind myself when faced with people who, for whatever reason, refuse to hear what I am saying.
"Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig."

These two have gotten me through many frustrating times.

Thanks for responding, I like your mantra. I need to think of one for myself, I think sometimes I say "Okay deep breaths" to get through things...I used to have panic attacks and when I feel pressure building up I have to try to breathe.
