Reciting a prayer at a shrine is an important act to deepen your connection with the gods. A prayer is a word that conveys gratitude to God and wishes.
Each shrine has its own unique prayer, but the "Oharae Words" is generally well known. However, if you don't know the prayer, there is no need to force yourself to chant it. It is enough to just pray quietly in your heart with gratitude to God.

"Thank you, God, for always protecting us. I am grateful to have met you in this place today. I sometimes feel confused, suffering, and trouble in my daily life, but please show me the path I need to take. And give me the strength to live a peaceful and happy life. I am grateful for your continued support of coming to this place and I will continue to cherish this place."
Use these words as a reference and pray in your own words with all your heart.
