✦ Prayers

Words for when you
don't have your own.

Short, plain-language prayers for anxiety, grief, hope, faith, direction, forgiveness, gratitude, protection, anger, and loneliness. Read one as it is, or let it point you toward your own words.

A note on approach

Not a substitute for your own words

These are meant as a starting point when you don't know what to say, not a replacement for however you or your tradition already pray. Use them as-is, or as a nudge toward something more personal.
