What effective chants and prayers do people here use?
To get you through your daily lives and through the obstacles and problems life throws at you, or for positive reinforcement and motivation.
Post here your favourite chants, blessings and prayers :)

There are some good blessings/prayers in the back of Galen Gillotte's Book of Hours that I used to use from time to time. If I remember correctly, her prayers for just before bed and for getting out of bed were very sweet...something like...oh well, I can't remember...let me grab the book!
Silver lady of the moon,
Bless me as this new day blooms
Now that the night is done.
Blessed be.
I always thought that one was a very nice way to start the day.

I just thank for guidance I have recieved and may I recieve it tomorow. Not very poetic but it works.

I chant the name Kuan Yin throughout the day for peace, or when I am feeling yucky and being snarky to those around me. I usually say a little prayer to Amaterasu upon rising. I do other stuff throughout the day like pray, chant etc, but the two I mentioned are done every single day.

Usually I thank the Goddess for her guidance, protection and ask that she direct me in the manner that she sees best.
Blessings,
Isis

The sun rises high in the sky,
the birds sing sweetly,
the water glistens in the sunlight,
and the crocodile basks in the warmth.
I create for You an oasis,
a paradise in the desert,
where we may commune and learn
and where I can leave my thoughts.
For this is a sacred space,
set aside for the Gods,
Where the music sings through the palm branches
and the sand is warm to lie down on.
Bless me, Great Aset, Great Mother,
may You always be at my side,
wrap Your wings around me,
and keep me safe at night.
Wise Djehuti, Scribe of the Heavens,
Lead me on the Dreamtrails,
where I wander as I sleep,
teach me the marvels of life,
and the wisdom of the ages.
Strong Sobek-Re, Lord of the Nile,
Healer, Protector, Divine One,
May You scout the path ahead of me,
and not lead me into strife.
Hail to Thee, You Netjeru!
A thousand praises I offer,
Bestow on me Your blessings,
May we always walk together.
This is the first entry in my LJ, one of the best prayers/blessings i've written. I've been a bit lazy spiritually this year, which i'm trying to fix. Inspiration hits me every so often, and prayers/blessings like this one usually turn up.
bright blessings,
argent

I've started using this one:
Lady of love
Goddess of war
I am your daughter
I am your muse
