About Prayer Today

The right prayer, right when you need it.

Prayer Today is a free collection of prayers for the real moments of life — quiet mornings, anxious nights, hospital waiting rooms, family dinners, and everything in between.

The prayers here are written in plain, warm language, rooted in the broad Christian tradition and welcoming to anyone who wants to pray. They avoid denominational specifics so that as many people as possible can pray them with a full heart.

Everything on this site is free to read, print, and share. If a prayer helped you, you can let us know with the “Did this prayer help you?” button beneath it — it helps us understand which prayers to write more of.

A gentle note: prayers for healing, anxiety, or grief are a companion to — never a replacement for — the care of doctors, counselors, and the people who love you.
