This prayer comes from the DAV (Disabled American Veterans--of which I am a member) National Chaplin, Dr. Charles W. Edwards Jr.
From the March/April 2008 issuse of DAV magazine. For more information on the DAV please click here, DAV.
Thank You God
Just this once, my God
I want to come to You without problems simply to say, thank You!
For forgiveness when I fall!
For the sheer joy of sleep when I'm terribly tired.
For the silent strength of humility when pride overtakes me.
For the justice of Your laws when men are cruel.
For the remedies for sickness when I am ill.
For the simplicity of orderliness when I am faced with confusion.
For the assurance that You have made a place especially for me when I feel inadequate among my peers.
For the joy of helping others when I see people in need.
For earthly evidences of Your will when I am trying to find out what life is all about.
For the reality of Your world when I stray too far into fantasy.
For the rightness of reasonableness when I panic too quickly.
For the renewal in moments of silence when I'm dizzy from being in a hectic world.
Thank You, God, for all of these things. But most of all, thank You for Your abiding presence that makes every day I live a day of thanks.
Thoughts to Consider:
"We don't need more strength or more ability or greater opportunity, what we need is to use what we have."
"Every situation, properly perceived becomes an opportunity."
"He conquers who endures."
"The power to succeed or fail is yours, and no one can take that away."
"Success is getting what you want, happiness is liking what you get."
"For fast acting relief, try slowing down."
"Make it a habit to do nice things for people who'll never find out."
