Father, Help Me To Appreciate

~*~ FATHER, Help Me To Appreciate ~*~

A prayer to say before the day begins

O God, my Father

make me more appreciative of others

Help me never to fail to say thanks

for everything that is done for me

and never take anything for granted

just because it comes to me

unfailingly every day

Help me always to be ready

to speak a word of praise

whenever a word of praise is possible

and sometimes even when it is not possible

Help me to be quick to notice things

Help me to be quick to see

when someone is depressed

discouraged and unhappy

Help me to be quick to see it

when someone is lonely and shy

and is left out of things

O Lord Jesus

help me to see people with your eyes

This I ask in Your Name

AMEN
