When words don't come easily, there are still ways to pray. This little book can be your entry to talking with God — with and without words — in this most difficult time. For those who have experienced a sudden and terrible loss, it is important to realize that you don’t have to do the things one normally associates with prayer to actually be connecting with God in a way that’s prayer-like. Just sit still, if you like. Grieving people often find themselves doing a lot of sitting still. Stunned. Allow yourself a time to be quiet, to answer to no one, to accomplish nothing at all. Quietness in itself is where prayerfulness begins. “In the end prayer’s essence is simply this: We need to open ourselves to God in such a way that we are capable of hearing God say to us, individually, ‘I love you!’” —Ronald Rolheiser

Unlike self-help books that appeal to the head and give rational explanations of the grief process, this prayerful new book is addressed to those who are experiencing loss as a limbo time of darkness. The author describes the feelings associated with various kinds of loss and helps grievers find words to express their own feelings. The author hopes that the book can bring healing by articulating the confusing and often ambivalent feelings that loss brings. Oden encourages readers to embrace their grief and to equally embrace the promise of God's presence that guides them through dark times to new light.The book addresses nine specific areas of human loss, including divorce, death, empty nest, loss of physical ability, loss of job or career, trauma of physical moves and relocations. Oden uses first-person narrative to capture these times of transition and struggle and offers ways for the reader to move beyond them through faith. The beautiful design and format, along with the message of hope it contains, make this book a thoughtful gift to share with friends during their time of loss.

Whether you have made prayer a habit for many years or this is your first prayer devotional, inspiration and comfort is waiting for you in the daily prayers written here. Prayer is a conversation with God. You don’t need to use fancy words or recite long passages of Scripture. Just talk to God. Open your heart. Tell him about your depth of loss and express your grief in whatever way you need to in this moment. Some days your prayers may be filled with grief, some days with hope, and some with need. Just lay your heart and your prayers at the Father’s feet and wait for his compassionate response. God is the best source of comfort you will find. He knows your heart and he is full of compassion for you. Let his strength be yours as you cry out to him. He is listening to every word you say.
