Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today with hearts full of gratitude for the constant reminder of Your goodness in our lives. As we navigate through each day, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the trials and tribulations that surround us. Yet, we know that Your goodness reigns supreme, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, there is hope and light. We are grateful for the small joys that punctuate our existence, for every smile that crosses our path, and for every act of kindness that warms our hearts.
Lord, help us to see beyond our struggles and to recognize the beauty that still exists in the world around us. Teach us to be attentive to the good that unfolds each day, whether it be in the laughter of a child, the comfort of a friend, or the serenity of nature. Grant us the strength to be instruments of Your goodness, spreading kindness and love wherever we go. Let our actions reflect Your grace, and may we be a source of light to those who may be lost in darkness.
As we repeat this affirmation that “Good is good, all the time,” let it resonate deeply within us. May it strengthen our faith and instill in us a deeper appreciation for the gifts You bestow upon us. Help us to embrace gratitude as a daily practice, cherishing the moments of goodness amidst life’s challenges. Let us carry this truth in our hearts, so that we may reflect it to others in need of encouragement.
In everything we do, we seek to honor You by focusing on what is good, true, and beautiful. Thank You, Lord, for Your unchanging nature and for the goodness that surrounds us. May our lives be a testament to the power of goodness, inspiring others to seek, recognize, and share it as well. In Your holy name, we pray, Amen.
