Daily Devotion-- April 22, 2011

Prayer of Thanksgiving

This week has seen its times of struggle, times of routine, and times of celebration — to name a few of the rhythms that each of us regularly experience. Through it all the providential care of God has been present. As I listen and reflect on my life this week, I find my Friday meditation calling me to thanksgiving. A brief prayer for today:

Holy God,
All that has come to me this week has been your gift to me.
Your faithfulness has been unending, your care has been unfailing,
Your strength for each moment has been unequaled.
Thank you.
The mystery of your life within is precious
The mystery of your infinite goodness is beyond comprehension.
Thank you for mystery.
The unfolding rhythm of this new season is filled with color and fragrance.
The new season brings new challenges (like allergies).
The new season brings deepened trust in the constancy of your deep love.
Thank you for the new season.
Great and mighty God, receive this prayer of thanks today. Amen.


Hope your weekend is wonderful!
