Prayers for...

Curated selections from the collection, organized by the situations people most often find themselves in: grief, anxiety, healing, strength, hope, forgiveness, protection, and others.

Nothing here is newly written. Every prayer linked from these pages is drawn from the existing library of 127 historical prayers, and each one keeps its full text, its dating, and the printed source its wording follows. A prayer may appear under more than one heading, because the same words have served more than one situation for centuries.

These groupings are editorial judgments rather than historical categories. The Christian tradition did not file its prayers this way. It is simply how people tend to look for them.
