Beautiful prayers

I have put three here.

One.
Dear Lord.
Help me to live this day
Quietly, easily;
To lean upon thy great strength,
Trustfully, restfully;
To wait for the unfolding of Thy will
Patiently, serenely,
To meet others
Peacefully, joyously;
To face tomorrow
Confidently, courageously.
Amen

Two.
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Praise be to God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds;
Most Gracious, Most Merciful;
Master of the Day of Judgment.
Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek.
Show us the straight way,
The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace,
those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.
Amen

Three. This one is so cute. It is a prayer of a fisherman:
Dear God
Be good to me
The sea is so wide
And my boat is so small
