pray for gratitude – every breath we take is a gift from God.

Message: Every breath we take is a gift from God. Remember, He owes us nothing but has given us everything. Let’s be radically thankful today. Prayer: Gracious and Almighty God, we come before You today with hearts filled with gratitude. Every breath we inhale is a reminder of Your incredible love and grace bestowed upon us. In a world that often seems filled with chaos and distraction, it is so easy to take for granted the simple yet profound gift of life that You provide us with daily. Help us to pause and reflect on the beauty of each breath, recognizing that it is a testament to Your presence within us. Teach us, Lord, to appreciate the little things— the gentle rustle of leaves, the warmth of the sun on our skin, and the tender laughter we share with loved ones. These moments, though fleeting, are precious gifts from Your gracious hand. May we never lose sight of the fact that each one of these elements adds richness to our existence and reflects Your love for us. Guide us to cultivate a spirit of radical thankfulness, not just during moments of abundance, but also in times of trial and testing. We recognize that You do not owe us anything, yet You have given us everything through Your love, mercy, and sacrifice. In our struggles, remind us to find joy and hope in Your promises. Help us to share this gift of gratitude with those around us, that others may feel Your love radiating through our words and actions. Lord, as we move through our day, may we be intentional in expressing our thankfulness. Let our hearts overflow with appreciation for the life You have granted us. Help us to spread this ethos to our families, friends, and communities, encouraging them to see the myriad blessings that surround us each day. Let this gratitude resonate deeply within us, transforming our outlook on life and deepening our faith in You. In moments of doubt or despair, remind us of Your unwavering goodness and faithfulness. May our lives be a constant reflection of Your love and an example of what it means to live a life of gratitude. We ask this in Your holy name, trusting in Your infinite wisdom and grace. Amen.
