“How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you bestow in the sight of all, on those who take refuge in you.” Psalm 31:19
I have previously mentioned that, besides recording what happens when I sit before Our Lord in Journey Through The Stillness, I also write in a Daily Prayer Journal as part of my personal prayer routine. At times I find myself wanting to make the day’s prayer all about thanksgiving and not asking for anything. Here is such an excerpt (You will recognize the format I use in many of the prayers I post here.) from my Daily Prayer Journal, dated September 22, 2010:
Good morning Lord. You are Abundant Life.
Forgive me, Lord, when I fail to notice the abundance of your blessing in my life and the lives of my loved ones.
Thank you, Lord, for all that is good in my life. Thank you for Turner and his love; for our children and their love for us and each other. Thank you for all of our extended family and the love we share together as a family. Thank you for our pets and their unconditional love along with the joy they bring to our hearts. Thank you for friends who care about and support us in our life and faith journeys. Thank you for food, shelter, and clothing in abundance. Thank you for financial security for ourselves and our loved ones. Thank you for transportation to carry out our labors and activities. Thank you for the moon and the stars, the sun and the sky, for all of nature and creation to sustain and soothe our souls. Thank you for angels and saints to watch over and pray for us. Thank you for Mary, our Mother, to intercede on our behalf. Thank you for your Holy Spirit to bring us wisdom and direction for our lives. Thank you for your beloved Son to die for us and grace us with the gift of Eternal Life. Thank you, God, for loving us so abundantly.
Bless our home and our pets. Love, Martha (I always sign out this way.)
