Prayers for Healing

A year of daily meditations and prayers, from many religions and cultures, that together form a beautiful tapestry of comfort and strength.
Every man prays in his own language, and there is no language that God does not understand. —Duke Ellington
This interfaith book provides insight from various religious and cultural texts and a wide range of writings, touching on our pain and inspiring the healer within each of us. These words remind us of hope and faith, so that we may live a deeper, more meaningful, and fully self-expressed life. During moments that are filled with despair, illness, depression, or spiritual longing, this treasury creates a healing space and draws on the power of wise devotionals for reflection and deep meditation.
Embrace physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation through Prayers for Healing, drawing from a select collection of influential spiritual leaders, thinkers, and sacred books, including the Tao Te Ching, the Koran, the Torah, Native American texts, the Bible, Thich Nhat Hanh, Wendell Berry, Jack Kornfield, Rumi, Rainer Maria Rilke, Marian Wright Edelman, Martin Luther King, Jr., Marianne Williamson, and many more.
“I hope that people of all faiths as well as those who do not believe in a religion will find inspiration and understanding here that in some way contributes to their own inner peace.” —The Dalai Lama
