Now I lay me down to sleep,
I parked my hot rod across the street,
If it should roll before I wake,
Please dear lord SLAM on the brake.
I found this written in the 7th grade social studies book I inherited when I went to junior high school.

Here's my favorite prayer:
Oh, dear god, thank you, you are such a good god to us. A kind and gentle and accommodating god, and we thank you oh sweet, sweet lord of hosts for the smorgasbord you have so aptly laid at our table this day, and each day, by day, day by day, by day oh dear lord three things we pray to love thee more dearly, to see thee more clearly, to follow thee more nearly, day, by day, by day. Amen.
Anyone know where it came from?

Thou art great and Thou art good; Father, we thank Thee for our food. By our hands we must be fed, Give us, Lord, our daily bread. Amen
Before retiring for the evening:
Now the day is over, night is drawing nigh; Shadows of the evening steal across the sky. Oh Jesus, keep us in Thy sight And save us thru the coming night! Amen

Yes, my favorite prayer by Ben Stiller. Seeing it in print doesn't really do it justice, it was all in his presentation.
This was my favorite prayer before going asleep when I was a child.
