ShAdOw_HuNtEr:
"Om Namah Shivaya"(ॠनमः शिवाय)
It means "I bow to Shiva." Shiva is the supreme reality, the inner Self. It is the name given to consciousness that dwells in all. Shiva is the name of your true identity- your self. The inner self is the form of God in you. So as you say ' Om Namah Shivay' i.e. "I bow to Shiva'; you are actually bowing to God - The great almighty.
I am agree with you,Shiva is in my prayers too -wnamastey2- May God Shiva bless you and listen your prayers.
