  1. Prayers

    Share Share Post
    If you were delayed at night or coming home on a dark night and very much afraid it is right to say this prayer.
    "A message from God before me,
    The court of heaven above me,
    The holy oil over my body,
    God before me and in me."

    A prayer to be said when going to bed
    " In the name of God,
    I will get into this bed,
    I will lie on my right side,
    And offer myself up to God,
    And I will sleep on my left side,
    And four posts under my bed,
    And four Angles watching over me
