The Healing Journey

Prayer of a Grateful Heart

I praise and thank You, O God,
for the countless blessings You bestow upon me.
You are with me in times of joy and peace,
as well as in days of pain, sickness and sorrow.

Through Your goodness,
I can delight in good health, find happiness
in family and friendships, work and play,
grow through experiences that challenge me
and learn wisdom through the people and events
that lead me to walk in Your ways.

I thank You, loving God
for the beauty that inspires,
for the laughter that enlivens,
for the kindness that encourages,
for the love that affirms and sanctifies.

Grant me a share in Your Grace each day
that I may so live as to be a cause of gratitude
for others, serving You without need for reward,
and with a heart grateful, faithful and free.
Amen

(From Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of the Church)
