Poetic Letters to God: A Book for Every Soul That Has Ever Whispered a Prayer

A heartfelt introduction, why this book exists, who it's for, and how it accompanies the quiet conversations between a human heart and the Divine.

There are books we read once and forget… and then there are books that feel like a hand on your shoulder, a soft voice in the dark, a warm light pouring quietly into the cold corners of your heart.

Poetic Letters to God belongs to the second kind.

Why This Book Exists

Before this book ever took shape on paper, it lived inside the heart of a young girl who didn’t know how else to deal with life except by talking to God.

Not in formal prayers. Not in rituals. Not in complicated theology.

But in simple scribbles that looked like tangled lines, tears, and pure emotion poured onto pages only God could read.

Later, poetry found her. Or perhaps, God handed poetry to her like a lamp in a dark hallway — a way to see her own heart again.

That girl was me. Over the years, every question I couldn’t ask others, I asked God. Every ache I couldn’t swallow, I spilled onto paper. Every fear, every longing, every confession, every gratitude — everything went into letters only God was supposed to read. And then one day, I realised:

I wasn’t the only one writing such letters in the dark.

Every human heart carries its own conversation with the Divine — unspoken, unseen, unshared. That’s when Poetic Letters to God was born. Not as a book of answers… but as a mirror. A companion. A soft place to land. A reminder that you’re not alone in your questions, your pain, your prayers, or your search for meaning.

What This Book Holds Inside

Poetic Letters to God is not a single emotion — it is an unfolding.

From a Heart Filled With Love for God

Verses filled with devotion, surrender, the sweetness of faith, and the quiet joy of finding God in simple moments. These poems feel like standing under warm sunlight after a long winter.

From a Lonely Girl

These are the poems of nights that felt too long, questions that felt too heavy, and moments when life looked blurry and unbearable. These pieces remind you that even when you whisper “God, where are You?” — He is still right there.

From a Curious Heart

Here, the poems turn into questions — tender, innocent, honest. Why do we get attached to the wrong people? Why is life unfair? Why do losses, delays, heartbreaks, and disappointments happen? Why does God sometimes stay silent? These verses give shape to the questions we are often too afraid to ask.

From a Broken Heart

Heartache, loss, grief, unmet expectations, unanswered prayers — these poems are raw, vulnerable and painfully true. They don’t rush to end pain with “positivity.” They let the heartbreak breathe. And then, gently, they show you how God pieces you together again.

From a Grateful Heart

After all the storms, after all the confusion, after all the waiting — this section is a sunrise. These poems remind you of the miracles you didn’t notice earlier… the prayers that were answered quietly… the protection you were given without knowing… and the strength that was growing within you the whole time.

Why Readers Love This Book

People who read Poetic Letters to God often say the same thing: “I felt like the book was talking about me.” Because even though the letters are personal, the emotions are universal.

Every page feels like someone finally said the thing you’ve been holding inside your chest for years. Each poem is short — but it lingers. Each page is simple — but it goes deep. Each letter feels like a prayer — not the formal kind, but the human kind.

“This book doesn’t preach. It doesn’t instruct. It doesn’t claim spiritual superiority. It simply holds your hand.”

Who This Book is For

You will love this book if:

• You have ever prayed — silently, tearfully, or desperately.
• You talk to God, the Universe, or a Higher Power in your own way.
• You enjoy devotional poetry.
• You seek comfort, hope, or emotional healing.
• You’re going through a difficult phase and need gentle strength.

It is also the perfect gift for a grieving heart, someone going through heartbreak, anyone who feels lonely, someone rebuilding their relationship with faith, or a friend who needs reassurance. And most of all — it’s a book for yourself.

What Makes This Book Special

Let me be honest — there are many poetry books out there. But Poetic Letters to God stands apart because:

• It is not poetry written to impress — it is poetry written to survive. These verses were born from real moments of pain, devotion, confusion, gratitude, and surrender.
• It feels deeply personal, yet universally relatable. You’ll find pieces in this book that echo your own unspoken prayers.
• It reflects the full spectrum of a human–God relationship. Love, faith, anger, questioning, heartbreak, gratitude — all of it lives in these pages.
• It brings spiritual comfort without forcing beliefs. The book is rooted in faith but not tied to any specific religion. It speaks to anyone who believes in a Higher Power.
• It is a soft light for dark nights. Many readers keep this book on their bedside, reading one poem each night before sleep — like a nightly prayer or meditation.
• Meaningful foreword. The book includes a foreword by Chef Vikas Khanna, whose words add grace and a sense of artistic witness to the poems.

Why You Might Need This Book Right Now

Maybe you're at a crossroads. Maybe you’re tired. Maybe you’re healing. Maybe life feels too heavy to carry alone. Maybe your faith feels shaky. Maybe you just need a reminder that you’re not walking your path unseen.

This book won’t “fix” your life — only God can do that. But it will give you words for the moments your heart feels wordless. It will give you comfort for the days that feel too loud. It will give you silence for the nights that feel too long. It will give you hope when yours is slowly wearing off. It will give you companionship when the world feels distant. It will help you pray again — without fear, without perfection, without guilt.

“When I spill ink pouring out my feelings on paper, I find You. I fall all over again in love with You, when I write for You.”

A Glimpse Into the Book’s Soul

Every poem is a different moment, a different prayer, a different heartbeat — but they all lead back to the same place: God’s presence. The poems are short, intimate, and designed to be read slowly, savoured like a prayer.

What You’ll Feel While Reading

Most readers describe the experience as: “Like reading my own heart.” “Like therapy for my soul.” “Like talking to God again after years.” “Like someone finally understood my faith and my fears.” The book is meant to be savoured slowly — like soft music, like incense burning, like a warm cup held between cold fingers.
