A Daily Prayer

While I do work around the house I try to remind myself of how blessed I am. Here is a general prayer I have as I clean:

Lord,

Thank you for these counters that need cleaned off that I have been able to give my children the food they need. Thank you for these crumbs on the floor. My children have had enough to eat to give them energy to play and grow up healthy.

Thank you for these fingerprints on the windows. They are interested in what is going on around them. Interested in the world and looking out of their small sphere in it. Please encourage them to see more around them and be willing to reach out to others around them.

Thank you for this dirt on the floor. They have had the courage and the determination to go out and explore what they have seen. Continue to foster this inquisitiveness to help them venture out in other areas of their lives.

Thank you for theses clothes to wash. My children have stayed warm and protected thanks to Your abundance for us.

Lord thank you for all you do for us and the provision you have given us. Help us never to overlook the little details of your abundance even when we may not see it.
