Prayer of Thanks

Prayer of Thanks

Amid all the hustle
and bustle in life,

When we are bombarded
with trouble, worry and strife,
 
We can pause for a moment
to think and to pray,
 
To see the good
in our life today.
 
God's given gifts
and blessings abound.
 
Just take a moment 
to look around, 

In just a few moments 
the blessings are found! 

We can offer up 
a prayer of thanks,

Addressing our Father in Heaven
is the first step we take,

While conversing with Father 
no thought's a mistake

But listen to the whisperings 
think if you're willing to change.

Take a moment to ponder
 hold on to the good, 

Prayer is refreshing,
I know I'm understood.

End in the name 
of the Only Begotten,

The plea you've made
won't go on forgotten,

But Father remembers 
our desires and needs

We'll recognize his blessings
if His promptings we pay heed.  

-Sister Janel A. Lewis
