We hope you will find them inspiring and powerful. From the FOREWORD: The prayers in this book were written using gender neutral language with respect to both the individual praying and to God. I selected the different Names of the Divine according to the feeling of the prayer; I invite the reader to substitute a preferred Name as well as to modify any specific prayer to serve the need of the moment. The prayers were written from the point of view that the reader is the one praying. In my research for this book, I was surprised to learn that most prayers today are written in third person for the patient as well as in reference to the Divine. These prayers are intended as guides to facilitate prayer between the patient and God. When God is not called by Name, God is addressed as You. Especially when one is ill, a person might experience a profound need to talk in dialogue with the Divine. These prayers are intended to accommodate such times and desires. Many years ago, an eleven year old girl whose mother had just died cried to me that she had no idea how to pray. I assured her that God did not need any special words, that what she held in her heart was her prayer, and I was able to guide her in the moment. I hope that this book will help anyone who is ever in need of prayer and might benefit from one or more of the prayers offered in this book. They are intended as a starting point with the hope that they will aid in opening the heart, mind and spirit to prayer when it is desired.
