Counting Blessings: A Prayer of Gratitude

Dear Heavenly Father,

In the quiet of this moment, we come before You with hearts overflowing with gratitude. We lift our voices in praise and thanksgiving for the countless blessings You have bestowed upon us, both seen and unseen. We acknowledge Your goodness, Your faithfulness, and Your abundant provision in every aspect of our lives.

As we pause to reflect on Your blessings, we are reminded of the countless ways You have shown Your love and care for us. From the gift of life itself to the daily provision of our needs, Your blessings surround us at every turn. We thank You for the warmth of the sun, the beauty of nature, and the love of family and friends. We thank You for the simple pleasures that bring joy to our hearts and the unexpected blessings that remind us of Your constant presence in our lives.

Yet, Lord, we know that amidst the busyness of life, it can be easy to overlook Your blessings or take them for granted. Help us, O Lord, to cultivate a spirit of gratitude in our hearts, to open our eyes to Your goodness each and every day. Teach us to count our blessings, not just in times of abundance, but also in times of trial and difficulty. For even in the midst of the storm, Your blessings are ever-present, guiding us, sustaining us, and giving us hope.

Give us the wisdom to see Your hand at work in every circumstance, to recognize Your blessings in disguise, and to give thanks in all things. May our gratitude overflow into acts of kindness and generosity towards others, as we seek to share Your love and grace with those around us.
