Loss for Words

When I am at a loss for words of comfort, hope, and love, I turn to the poets, thinkers, and theologians who have gone before me.

About Loss for Words

I have set out to create a tagged archive of poems and prayers to use when one cannot find the words to speak to God.

I have collected prayers from various traditions and times in history, and do not necessarily adhere to the variances in theology represented.

I am Christian, so the collection will certainly skew in that direction, but I plan to include prayers from other faiths as well.

I hope you will find the collection helpful as you speak with God and each other.
