"Prayer", by Ljerka Mikić (published in 1998), is an intimate and refined spiritual-poetic collection that focuses on man's personal, silent and profound encounter with the Creator. The book is a lyrical record of a believer's journey, self-examination and surrender, in which everyday human experiences, joys and sufferings are transformed into an uninterrupted prayer dialogue. Through verses and short contemplative notes, the author explores the power of prayer as a fundamental refuge in moments of loneliness, life's trials and insecurity. The central motifs of the collection are permeated with motifs of God's love, forgiveness, spiritual recovery and recognition of the sacred and mysterious in simple moments of everyday life. Ljerka Mikić does not write about prayer from a theological distance, but directly from the experience of human weakness and longing for the absolute, offering the reader a space for their own immersion in silence and concentration. Written in simple, direct and lyrically sensitive language, the book "Prayer" acts like a spiritual balm and an incentive for inner renewal. The work remains a precious monument of domestic spiritual poetry and sincere Christian lyrics that unobtrusively leads the reader towards deeper faith, inner peace and trust in God's providence.
