A
PRAYER FOR EXPRESSING GRATITUDE
Gracious God, in the busy-ness of my day, I sometimes
forget to stop to thank You for all that is good in my life. My blessings
are many and my heart is filled with gratefulness for the gift of living,
for the ability to love and be loved, for the opportunity to see the everyday
wonders of creation, for sleep and water, for a mind that thinks and a
body that feels. I thank you, too, for those things in my life that are
less than I would hope them to be. Things that seem challenging, unfair,
or difficult. When my heart feels stretched and empty and pools of tears
form in my weary eyes, still I rejoice that you are as near to me as my
next breath and that in the midst of turbulence, I am growing and learning.
In the silence of my soul, I thank you most of all for your unconditional
and eternal love. Amen.
