Lord,
give me eyes to notice the good that has become familiar.
Thank You for the people, places, abilities, and daily provisions I can too easily take for granted.
Slow me down enough to recognize the quiet ways I am supported.
Let me enjoy a simple moment without needing it to become productive or impressive.
When I compare my life with someone else’s, return my attention to what has been entrusted to me.
Teach me to care for these gifts rather than overlook them while reaching for more.
May gratitude deepen my contentment without making me passive, and may it inspire me to share what I have.
Help me speak appreciation while there is still time to say it.
Let a thankful heart make me more attentive, more generous, and more alive to Your presence in the ordinary details of my life.
Keep teaching me to receive each ordinary gift with humility, attention, and joy.
Amen.
