What are your favorite short prayers? I would like to add more short prayers to my day. Especially any prayers that have to do with gratitude to God or the joy of the Lord. What are your favorites?

Some of the ones I often pray are the Gloria, the Angelus, the Jesus prayer, the Anima Christi, and the Divine Praises.
 
“Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like Yours.”
 
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
look kindly upon us, and increase your mercy in us,
that in difficult moments, we might not despair nor become despondent,
but with great confidence, submit ourselves to your holy will,
which is love and Mercy itself.
Amen.
 
Two which I find myself praying throughout the day are:

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner.

and

O God come to our assistance, O Lord make haste to help us.
 
Mother Yvonne-Aimee of Malestroit:
Oh Jesus, King of Love, I put my trust in your merciful goodness.
 
The Fatima Prayer comes to mind often. Must be the evil times we live in.
 
The acts of faith, hope and love.

I also like St Augustine’s prayer to the Holy Spirit:
Breathe in me O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen
