In times of sickness or adversity, humans tend to seek comfort and
healing from a greater power. We know this quest as prayer; universally
it has brought solace and healing to many seekers. For those who lack the
words, inspiration, or familiarity with prayer, Maggie Oman has assembled
a collection of healing prayers for every day of the year. Included are
voices as familiar as Duke Ellington ("Every man prays in his own language,
and there is no language that God does not understand."), Bobby McFerrin,
and May Sarton, along with voices as reverent as the Chinook Indians, Kahlil
Gibran, and Mother Teresa.
