Deist Prayer?

[xkatz]

What would a deistic prayer look like?

[The Sum of Awe]

There isn't one, AFAIK

Very few, if any, Deists pray.

[Shuddhasattva]

I think I saw a deist prayer on a bumpersticker...

"God, save me from your followers."

What are the general views of prayer in the Deistic community?
If someone said, "I'm a Deist and I pray", what would your immediate thought/s be?

I pray not to ask for something but instead to give thanks for something. I don't dictate to God. Individual Deists have their own opinion when it comes to prayer. Well, that's because we are individuals and there's no governing body in Deism instead, maybe, if some Deists establish a Deistic religion based on Deistic beliefs but I'm pretty sure that not all Deists will conform to this. I myself won't. Hahaha.

I consider myself a deist- I do not accept any sacred scripture, I accept one man as a prophet of God, but not because some alleged authority of his words, or the miracles he done, because there exists neither, but because I think he was the promulgator of what is true and good, and he himself has established his religious community like that, like a deist community. The person in question is Akbar.

As far the topic is concerned, I pray five times in the manner of Islamic salah, except I have a different shahada in which I do not mention Mohammad, but Akbar, and I turn not to Mecca, but towards the tomb of Akbar. I do not in this prayer ask anything from God, I just praise God, and use these prayers as a mechanism to rebember the divine- God and virtues- throughout the day, and to fix my mind on the divine, and I find it a great tool to keep my discipline.
