Prayer of Thanks

 Prayer of Thanks

I have prayed for strength

And You have given strength.

I have prayed for healing, 

And you have healed.

We have made it through this day

From before sunrise to

Long past the sunset.

We have watched rain

Grow from a a gentle sprinkling 

to a storm full of howling winds

Blowing the rain sideways

Beating into the windows.
We have watched the clouds

Break apart and show the sun

standing strong, a symbol of love,

Positivity, and joy above us.

It has renewed our hope.
And we have watched the sun
Drift slowly behind the trees

Along the skyline. The sky turning

Pink and red as it drifts to black again.

Thank you, Lord for guiding us 

Allowing us another day together.

I give thanks for the spirit that guides 

I give thanks for putting me here, now, 

In this bleak situation. While I pray it will end.

Thank you for making me a useful servant.

I have prayed for strength

And You have given strength.

I have prayed for healing, 

And you have healed.
