morning prayer
#6
Teodor Wrote:Can BN use the Jewish "I give thanks.."- prayer upon awakening or is it preferable to say a personal prayer with a similar meaning?

Either is permitted.

Teodor Wrote:Thanking HaShem, blessed be He, for "returning my soul to my body" would mean that the souls of the Gentiles also undertake a kind of journey while the body is asleep similar to the Jewish souls. Is one to have this intention in mind, or rather just to thank for being alive?

Either intention is OK.

Teodor Wrote:Is there a particular reason for first using the restroom (after awakening), and then praying or can one just wash his/ her hands upon awakening, then pray and then maybe in an hour or more go to the place (assumed there isn't any natural need to do so earlier)?

The reason for first using the restroom only applies if there is a natural need, but that's usually the case after waking up in the morning. For Gentiles, washing the hands before prayer is only called for if the hands are soiled, or after using the restroom.
