A Thanksgiving Prayer

Gracious God,
I thank you for the gift of life.
In these times when blessings
are sometimes hard to find,
give me the grace to be aware
of your loving presence,
especially when I am anxious.
Help me to embrace each
moment as an opportunity
to see your goodness reflected
in my life and in your creation.
Keep me safe and healthy
in mind and body, and protect
my family and friends
with your healing touch.
May compassion flow through
my grateful heart to
others in need.
Amen.
