Prayer of Praise and Thanksgiving

 Every morning calls for a prayer of thanksgiving and praise. Here is mine for today.

Lord, 

I see, in nature, Your glory and splendor.

I feel Your love, so tender.

I have a joy within my soul that You bestow

As, onward, I travel and wherever I go.

Your goodness, I know.

For Your mighty grace 

Is given throughout my daily pace. 

Lord, 

I desire to slow my walk 

And, Us, more often to talk. 

Calm my spirit and give me quiet 

To make You my morning, noon, and nighttime diet.

Lord, 

With fulness of heart, I rejoice,

As I make You my companion choice. 

You, O Lord, are the One I turn to when I am sad or mourn 

Or when I am torn.

It’s You I seek when I am troubled and in doubt,

For You’re the One who works all things out.

Lord, 

I thank You

For being my glue,

For helping me through,

And for being true-

As I, on earth, pass through.

                         …Amen!
