To Grow in Gratitude
God of all Goodness,
Every day you give more reasons than I could possibly ever number to give you thanks. And every day my thanksgiving falls short. Your exceptional generosity exceeds my expressions of gratitude. Guard me from allowing my confidence in your goodness to morph into an attitude of entitlement. Clothe me in humility, always with the full awareness that I don’t deserve anything from your gracious hand, so that when I do, I am grateful. Direct me also to reflect my gratitude in many ways, from prayers of thanksgiving to outward displays of thanks in how I interact and engage with others. Let your Word work in my heart a constant and joyful attitude of gratitude that is outwardly evident to all who know me.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
