How do you pray everyday? Do you have any favorite prayer that you repeat everyday? If so, what does the prayer say?
My favorite prayer is this. It is called Universal Prayer by Swami Sivananda.
O adorable Lord of Mercy and Love,
Salutations and prostrations unto Thee,
Thou art Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient.
Thou art Existence, knowledge and bliss Absolute.
Thou art the indweller of all beings.
Grant us an understanding heart, equal vision, balanced mind, faith, devotion and wisdom.
Grant us strength to resist temptations and to control the mind.
Free us from egoism, lust, greed, hatred, anger and jealousy.
Fill our hearts with divine virtues.
Let us behold Thee in all these names and forms.
Let us serve Thee in all these names and forms.
Let us ever remember Thee.
Let us ever sing Thy glories.
Let Thy name be ever upon our lips.
Let us abide in Thee for ever and ever.

Here is my favorite prayer:
Our Father who art in Hell
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom hath come thy will be done
On earth as it is in hell
We take this night our rightful due
We walk not on paths of pain
Lead us unto temptation
And deliver us from false piety
For thine is the kingdom and the Glory forever

Hello vigigopi!(",)
I don't really pray this often but I like it..
The Nurse's Prayer
Oh my God, teach me to receive
The sick in your Name.
Give to my efforts success for the
Glory of your Name.
It is your work:
without you, I cannot succeed.
Grant that the sick
you have placed in my care may
abundantly blessed, and not one
of them be lost because of any
neglect on my part.
Help me to overcome,
every temporal weakness, and
strengthen in me whatever may enable me to bring joy to the lives
of those I serve.
Give me grace,
For the sake of your sick ones and
Of those lives that will be
Influenced by them.
Amen…

That was really beautiful lani. It shows how much eagerness there is to serve humanity. The more selfless one's service is, the more the heart expands and we come nearer to God. That was one beautiful prayer that was selfless, egoless and showed surrender at the feet of God. Thank you very much.
