* ''Literature/ALightInTheAttic'' includes a parody of NowILayMeDownToSleep called "Prayer of the Selfish Child", where the child asks God to break all of his toys in the event of his death.
-->''Now I lay me down to sleep,\\
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.\\
And if I die before I wake,\\
I pray the Lord my toys to break.\\
So none of the other kids can use 'em...\\
Amen.''

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieAcrossThe2ndDimension'': When she runs out of ideas on how to bring Candace back home, Stacy resorts to building a shrine and praying to the "Mysterious Force":
-->'''Stacy:''' (''while building a shrine with fruit bowls, flowers, Mr. Miggins, and pictures of Candace, Phineas, and Ferb'') Look, Mysterious Force, I feel a little awkward talking to you since I didn't believe in you at first cause, you know, it's crazy. But then I saw you... eat my friend, so I made a little shrine here. It's uh, It's nice, there's a banana and uh- oh, oh, oh! Mr. Miggins! So um, I hope this makes up for the whole disbelief thing. Are we uh... Are we good?
** Later, when Candace returns to Earth:
-->'''Stacy:''' (''on her knees'') Oh, Mysterious Force! You can see I'm really trying here! Please bring back Candace!
-->'''Candace:''' (''appears behind her'') Hi, Stacy.
-->'''Stacy:''' ({{Beat}}) ...And... I also want a car!

* In ''Literature/AnneOfGreenGables,'' Anne arrives at Green Gables neglected in all aspects of her life, including spiritually. Marilla is horrified to find she has never been taught to say her prayers, and firmly tells her that she will pray as long as she lives there. Anne agrees, and when asked what she should say, Marilla encourages her to say her own prayer. Anne does, using all the flowery language she can think of to make it sound appropriately reverent, and then ends it with a plea to be [[IJustWantToBeBeautiful good-looking when she's older]] before singing off "Yours Respectfully, Anne Shirley." Marilla nearly faints from the shock.

Marilla is horrified to find she has never been taught to say her prayers, and firmly tells her that she will pray as long as she lives there. Anne agrees, and when is initially reluctant, because she's holding a grudge against God for [[BerserkButton making her hair red]], but eventually agrees. When asked what she should say, Marilla encourages her to say her own prayer.
