Heavenly Father, I thank You for every gift — for joys
that uplift me and trials that strengthen me.
Teach me to see Your hand in all that happens.
May gratitude guard me from bitterness
and open my heart to Your peace.
Let me rejoice in every moment, knowing that Your love sustains me.
Make my life a continual offering of thanks and praise.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
— By a Columban Missionary
