Prayer for the Wild Things is an album released by Paul Winter in 1994.

The album was commissioned to accompany a painting by artist Bev Doolittle, which is also titled Prayer For The Wild Things.

Paul Winter created the album to depict in the listener's mind a journey through a day and night in the Northern Rockies, and based it on "a series of vignettes about the animals, with the saxophone recurring throughout as a kind of interlocutor".

To demonstrate how all of these animals are interconnected in life, the melodies played on these instruments were written so that they could all be interwoven.

Animals included in the album are: The recordings of animal calls along with saxophone solos were recorded at Gates of the Mountains, Glacier National Park, and Yellowstone National Park.
