ELEANOR WREN
Eleanor Wren writes quiet prayers for loud minds. She began these prayers during seasons of mental health struggles when her words were what kept her going, and she shares them for anyone who needs borrowed ones. She believes comfort doesn’t have to come with pressure to feel better faster, and that prayer can sit alongside counselling, medication, and the help of other people.
200 Prayers for Mental Health: A Prayer Book for Anxiety, Depression, Panic, Grief, Loneliness
by Eleanor Wren
Short prayers for when words run out.
When your mind is loud and your heart is heavy, you don’t need long words. You need honest ones.
200 Prayers for Mental Health offers short prayers for anxiety, depression, panic, grief, loneliness, and exhaustion. There is no pressure to feel grateful and no instruction to “just have more faith.” There are only words for the 3 am dread, the panic in a crowded room, and the day you can barely get out of bed.
Inside, you’ll find prayers for:
Anxiety and racing thoughts
Panic and physical distress
Depression, numbness, and heavy days
Grief, loss, and the quiet after someone leaves
Loneliness and the exhaustion of appearing fine
Sleepless nights and hours before dawn
Starting and going through treatment
This book is for anyone who is struggling, anyone who cares for someone who is, and anyone who wants to give a friend or loved one something that doesn’t minimize their pain. It’s written for a broadly spiritual audience and not tied to any single faith or denomination.
