A Daily Morning Prayer 1.3.23

Many of us have much to be thankful for as we begin a new calendar year. I thought I would share a prayer of thanks that I often use during a moment of silence or when meditating. It is my go-to prayer and covers everything for me. I will also share what each item I am thankful for means to me.

Dear God

Thank you for my life

Thank you for my wife

Thank you for my time

Thank you for my mind

Thank you for my health

Thank you for my wealth

As it was in the beginning, is now and forever, universe without end.

Amen

• Life – to wake up each day is a miracle and a gift. Live each day to the fullest.
• Wife – spouses help us grow. We need to cherish the most important person in our life.
• Time – it is a limited. So, use it wisely including being present in the moment with others.
• Mind – Our minds are miracles. Be intellectually curious and share what you learn with others.
• Health – good health is taken for granted until we do not have it. Treat our bodies as temples.
• Wealth – family, friends and community are our true wealth.  Invest in them.
