Saints LightPrayer of Thanksgiving
A prayer of gratitude for every blessing, great and small, in the spirit of the one healed leper who came back to give thanks (Luke 17:15-16); written for this app. Pray it at the end of the day, or whenever something goes well.
The prayer
Lord my God, every good thing I have comes from your hand. Thank you for the gift of life, for the breath in my lungs, and for this new day.
Thank you for the people who love me and the people I love, for food on my table and a place to rest, for beauty that surprises me, and for the help that came when I needed it. Thank you, above all, for Jesus, for his cross and resurrection, for the Church and the sacraments, and for your mercy that never runs out.
Forgive me for the times I forget to say thank you. Give me a grateful heart, and let my life give you praise. Amen.
Pray it this week
Each night this week, before sleep, name three specific things you are thankful for that day and pray this prayer.
