Prayer of Gratitude


My parish offers a book of reflections called Daybreaks each Advent and Lent. This year's Advent reflections are written by Patricia Livingston. Inside the front cover is a prayer of gratitude to use at the beginning of each day. Since there are so many things to be grateful for, most importantly the gift of our Savior, I thought I'd share this prayer here with all who stumble upon this site.

For a moment of stillness in which to pray,
For health and strength,
For a sunset,
For lessening of fear,
For a connection with friend or family,
For a chance to offer kindness,
For a sense of oneness with the whole human family,
For something beautiful, inspiring, funny, delicious, or restful,
We respond with a prayer of gratitude.
