Lord, give me a grateful heart in the season of joy, and in the season of tears.
When all is bright and when darkness comes.
When I want to raise my voice and when I don’t feel like giving thanks.
Help me, O Heavenly Father, to live in gratitude,
Help me to long only for you and nothing else.
Your gifts bring joy while I journey under your sun,
But they cannot be compared to the One gift you have given,
Salvation by grace, forgiveness and hope,
To be with you, to abide in you, to embrace your Word.
O Lord, help me, help me,
I don’t want to set my eyes on the things that perish,
However, I am prone to be deceived by this world,
and the temporal delights it offers.
Help me, O Lord, to set my eyes on Jesus,
The Giver of every perfect gift.
The Author of my salvation.
My Lord and Saviour,
My King.
Today I am grateful for your many blessings. I thank you, O Lord, because it has pleased You to give us more than we deserve.
