I take many things for granted, Lord,
things for which I should be grateful:
- your grace helping me make it
from one day to the next...
- friends who are always there for me,
in good times and in bad...
- the courage I found to face some things
I feared would overwhelm me...
- the compassion to help and serve
in ways I never thought I could...
- the strength that keeps me faithful
to those who aren't loyal to me...
- the endurance to try and try again
when I'm ready to throw in the towel....
- the faith to trust in your care for me
on days when I just can't find you...
- the hope that keeps me moving ahead
when I'm tempted to just give up...
I take many things for granted, Lord:
make me grateful today, I pray
for the graces and gifts that slip, day by day,
from your heart and hands into mine...
Amen.
