These might not be prayers but they have been comforting to me at different times
@StarGirlDrinking From My SaucerI've never made a fortuneand it's probably too late now.But I don't worry about that much,I'm happy anyhow.And as I go along life's way,I'm reaping better than I sowed.I'm drinking from my saucer,'Cause my cup has overflowed.I don't have a lot of riches,and sometimes the going's tough.But I've got loved ones around me,and that makes me rich enough.I thank God for his blessings,and the mercies He's bestowed.I'm drinking from my saucer,'cause my cup has overflowed.I remember times when things went wrong,My faith wore somewhat thin.But all at once the dark clouds broke,and the sun peeped through again.So God, help me not to gripe aboutthe tough rows that I've hoed.I'm drinking from my saucer,'Cause my cup has overflowed.If God gives me strength and courage,when the way grows steep and rough.I'll not ask for other blessings,I'm already blessed enough.And may I never be too busy,to help others bear their loads.Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,'Cause my cup has overflowed.~ John Paul Moore ~4 -

The Lord is my strength,
My eternal guiding light.
He stands with me in the
sunshine,
Calms me through the
stormy nights.He stands with me on the mountain tops.
He walks with me upon the
beach,
When it is His guidanceThat my heart does seek.
Always there to pick me up,
When I fall on bended knees;
He is The Captain of my
ship,As we sail across the seas.
He is in each and every breath I take,
In every path within my
sight.
When I take life's daily
journey,
I pray my choices have
been right.He greets me with the morning,
As each new day awakes.
His canvas is the earth
and sky.
What a beautiful sight it
makes.
He renews the strength with in my heart.
My faith shall never
falter.
For, when I sing His
loving praise,
My soul becomes even stronger.6 -

As a newbie to this group This is a bit late but having found all your posts encouraging I thought I’d add mine: I’ve recently found the psalms helpful and have been listening to them read aloud on biblegateway.com. Psalms 120 to 134 in particular. Also psalm 139:1-8. Some of these I pray myself, some I just listen to but all have been comforting in difficult times.
