Mine is i have being told done to death but to me its a central part of the my faith. I first learnt this when i first started going to AA.

God grant me the serenity to accept what i cannot change.
The courage to change what i can
and the wisdom to know the difference
Amen

I have three:

The Lord's Prayer

The collect for purity - CoE Eucharist

Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. AMEN 

The collect for Wednesday morning prayer CoE Common Worship  

Almighty and everlasting God,
we thank you that you have brought us safely
to the beginning of this day.
Keep us from falling into sin
or running into danger,
order us in all our doings
and guide us to do always
what is righteous in your sight;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

A prayer of Philaret, Patriarch of Moscow -- and, of course, The Lord's Prayer.

I should have mentioned where I first came across Philaret's prayer -- it was recommended by Presiding Bishop Frank T. Griswold during the difficult General Convention of 2003. I've prayed it every morning since then.
