Prayers are a great way of creating a bond between us and the Goddess and God. Praying daily helps strength our relationship with them and is a great way to inspire our spirituality, or even recharge it. Even though the God and Goddess are beyond our comprehension, we can grow closer to them by daily prayer and meditations.
Now it is usually best to compose your own prayers, I have a few prayers here I have collected over the years. I have also included a few childrens prayers and some from the baha'i religion, since one of my daughters is baha'i and so is my mother. I have also included the Serenity Prayer for a close and personal friend of mine who's spirituality touches me deeply daily. (Love ya Sprinkles !!!!!) I hope you enjoy and use these prayers or they inspire you to connect more with our eternal parents.
THE SERENITY PRAYER
God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, The strength to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
SEAX-WICCAN PSLAM (by Raymond Buckland)
Ever as I pass through the wyas do I feel the presence of the Gods. I know that in aught I do they are with me. They abide in me and I in them, forever. No evil shall be entertained for purity is the dweller within me and about me. For the good I do I strive and for good do I live. Love unto all things. So be it, Forever.

PRAYER FOR PAGAN CHILDREN
O God, O Goddess, you have created all people, all races, all traditions, and all faiths. You have taught us to worship you each in our own way. This can be very confusing at times and to a small child often traumatic. Mankind has created much discontent, and prejudice is everywhere. My prayer is for all the children, but especially the pagan child. Give them and their families the strength and endurance needed to survive these times. Help them to grow and understand that ignorance and greed is the cause of all suffering, so that one day we all can be united as one family again. So Mote It Be
PRAYER FOR PAGAN UNITY
Dear eternal Father, there is much unrest and disunity in the world. Help us to embrace each other and live in peace and harmony in the pagan way. Dear eternal Mother, we realize there are many different traditions of faith. Help us to see past the difference and unite as one family in total harmony and love. So Mote It Be
