Indeed pre written or inspired prayers are effective but a personal prayer fitting the occasion is what I was thinking. Prayer in this example is a petition to the creator coming from the heart.Major props up for that prayer idea.
There are times when I am at a loss for words turning into short term mystical performance anxiety. What a great idea to turn to a relevant prayer from a favorite spiritual path or religion instead of stressing further. Lots of other humans have authored really powerful prayers and poems which can easily mimic my own intent.
