Daily prayer or mantra?

Does anyone have a daily mantra or prayer they'd like to share? I'm looking to develop a mantra for myself as a tool to combat anxiety and daily pressures.
Cheers!

Oh man, there are so many to choose from. Some will resonate with you and many others won't. Best just to try one for a couple days or a week and if it's not working try something else, repeat until something sticks and then strengthen that one. Maybe don't do too many different things at once as it will diffuse your focus a bit.
As TBA mentioned you can't go wrong with the mahayana buddhist chants. The Japanese/Korean schools (zen) are simpler and the Tibetan schools are generally more complicated form-wise.
It would help a lot if you can find a local group in your area (of course difficult now with social distancing) and chant with them. Kirtan's are always fun
I see you have Brahma in your subtitle so maybe you can also give some Hindu mantras a go (there are loads of them). I tried this one for a while but in the end just went back to buddhist sutra/mantra chanting:

yes you can pray about them and general things for your family
and all of us
I yell hurray when I wake up
midday
and evening
I love johnny cash I find his music to be very consoling like it's ok
"good graciouis lett me tell you the news..."
happy and enjoyinig and productive and creative making art daily and want a job and love and all those classic positive things
I'm not a particular religiouis person just found out that my own thinking was true that it's not negative and our lives will depend on how much work we do and how good it will be
and moderation and love and kind and friendly and not hurting others verbally and so on
good luck mate and keep being productive and creative always and enjoy
have fun you're dope and awsome
-------------------- with our love with our love we could save the world

My two mantras I practice:
Good Will Prevail
Be the Change
Thoughts manifest, I believe.
