A Prayer For Appreciating God’s Gifts

By

This prayer by Karin Hadadan invites readers to slow down and recognize God’s constant gifts in life. Along with this, Rebecca Simon’s Stay Single encourages those in seasons of waiting to trust God’s goodness. Read on and join this prayer as a reminder to live with gratitude each day.

It can feel so overwhelming to move through busy days that we hardly notice the quiet blessings already surrounding us. We realize, when we take a moment to pause, that every good thing we have is a gift from God, gently inviting us to live with a grateful heart. Join me in expressing our gratitude to Him today.

Dear God,

Thank you for blessing me with the ultimate gift today—another day of life. I know you are the source of all good things in my life, and that I often miss out on all of the blessings you pour over me each day. So today, I will express more gratitude for all that you give me.

For more about finding peace in God’s timing, read Rebecca Simon’s book.

Help me recognize the small and large gifts that you are offering me, so that I can learn to better appreciate your constant state of giving. Open my eyes to see that every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from you, the Father of heavenly lights. Thank you for being the generous God that you are, who does not change like shifting shadows but remains faithful in your giving.

Amen.
