Got a prayer in mind?
 
I have to identify myself as agnostic with a decent background in Christianity and Buddhism, but neither really seem to fit. I don't like saying prayers from either because I frankly don't completely believe them. This poses a problem for a rather spiritual fellow like my self who, indeed, would like to say a prayer before heading off to bed. Well working with the full cooperation that google usually lends I found nothing along the lines of a nondenominational prayer that isn't just a joke. Does anyone have a link or perhaps a different way to this 'ritual' other than prayer or creed?

Much thanks.

You can always come up with your own prayer. You don't say what your reason for wanting to do this is, but here are some general ideas: Say something that has meaning for you, and don't worry if it doesn't sound like the "official" prayers you've heard. It doesn't necessarily need to address a deity, either; it can simply be an affirmation of your spiritual beliefs or goals.

Simply recite a few teachings of the Buddah that you think fit into your day....and meditate on them for a few seconds. They may not be traditional prayers per se, but if there is someone listening it is likely to make her smile.

Thanks for the tips.
