Today I want to share this Hindu prayer with you

I hope it can bring comfort to you as well as it do to me.

"Waters, you are the ones who bring us the life force.
Help us to find nourishment so that we may look upon gret joy.
Let us share in the most delicious sap that you have, as if you were
loving mothers.
Let us go strait to the house of the one of whom your waters
give us life and give us birth.
For our well-being let the goddesses be and aid to us, the waters be
for us to drink. Let them cause well-being and helth to flow
over us.
Mistresses of all the things thet are chosen, rules over all peoples,
the waters are the ones I beg for the cure.
Soma has told me that within the waters are all cures and Agni
who is salutary to all.
Waters, yield your cure as an armour for my body, so that I may
see the sun for a long time.
Waters, carry far away all of this that has gone bad in me, either
what I have done in malicious deceit or whatever lie I have
sworn to.
I have sought the waters today, we have joined with their sap.
O Agni full of moisture, come and flood me with splendour."
