The problem for Latter-day Saints is that we have very few pre-written prayers. We do not have any for daily use. None at all. We do not have prayer-books. We are guided to pray spontaneously from the heart. The weakness, sometimes, for prayers like this is their utility as opposed to art. Too often, LDS prayers do not seek a bonding with G-d through prayer. A mystical-connection per se. Are you making a recommendation?

I just thought it was a beautiful prayer and I felt inspired from it.
