Now, I have an account here a WP. I search for prayer to see about different Aspies' experience & find these videos of myself. I'm glad they could help.

Thinking of this in the Haven sense, I've rather liked Reinhold Niebuhr's serenity prayer in tough times:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
