A HANDS-ON PRAYER:
"So help me God."
This traditional conclusion to the oath of truthfulness that includes placing the right hand on the Bible can be an ideal prayer reminder. This short "hands-on prayer" has great possibilities for awakening you to an essential and undeniable reality: your absolute dependence on God.
To help awaken you to this reality, you might try beginning each task that involves your hands by saying, "So help me God." Use that four-word prayer as you grasp the steering wheel of your car, finger the keyboard of your computer or place the kitchen pot on the stove for the evening meal. "So help me God" is both a prayer to God and a reminder to yourself of your absolute dependence on God.
