You  can  choose other  similar prayers  of  your liking and of your language  but I wish   that  all of you believe  in our gods pray   daily.  Sorry  , if I have bored you)

Guru

Pray  Guru

Deva-naam cha Rishi Naam cha Gurum kaanchana sannibham,
Buddhi Bhootam Trilokesham Tam Namaami Brihaspatim 

My salutations to Jupiter,
Who is teacher of devas and sages,
Who is equal in shine to gold,
Whose soul is intellect,
And who is the lord of all three worlds.

Guru gayatri

Om vrishabadhwajaaya vidmahae
kruni hastaaya dheemahi
tanno guru: prachodayaat

Om, Let me meditate on him who has bull in his flag,
Oh, He who has power to get things done, give me higher intellect,
And let Guru illuminate my mind.

The God  governing  Thursday   is either  Dakshinamurthy  or Dathathreya or Guruvayurappan, Please choose   any one of those  Gods  and chant three prayers   given  for that God

let him  who should be meditated by seekers of God,
Who sits     on the roots  of a banyan tree ,
And whose form faces  the southern direction,
Awaken in my mind , the form of knowledge.

Dakshinamurthy   Gayathri Mantra
