Gratitude
A prayer of gratitude
A simple way to name the gifts of an ordinary day and return thanks for them.
Giver of every good thing, before I ask you for anything, let me thank you.
Thank you for breath, and morning, and a place to begin. Thank you for the people whose names I would miss if they were gone. Thank you for the small mercies I walked past today without noticing.
Teach me to live with open hands, grateful for what is, instead of anxious for what is not. Where I have taken your gifts for granted, gentle me.
I enter your gates with thanksgiving, and your courts with praise.
Amen.
Keep praying
