Pause for Prayer: THANKFUL THURSDAY



Lord, help me be more grateful when I'm remembered,
less slighted when I'm forgotten...

Help me be more grateful when I'm included,
less pouty when I'm left out...

Help me be more grateful when I'm loved,
less self-absorbed when I'm ignored...

Help me be more grateful for what I have,
less obsessed with what I want...

Help me be more grateful for joy that's mine,
less soured by misfortune...

Help me be more grateful for all I have,
less selfish in my giving...

Help me be more grateful for who I am,
less jealous of others' talents...

Help me be more grateful for my time in prayer,
less foolish with the time I waste...

Help me be more grateful for the gift of faith,
less prone to take your grace for granted...

Help me be more grateful, Lord, for you
and for your love and care for me today...

Amen.
