Prayer of Gratitude

As this morning dawns,
May the world show up with brilliance and glory.
May the sun shine down upon all of us and fill us with joy.
May we wake up with a feeling of excitement to face the day.
May our steps be brisk and sure.
May the paths we walk on be straight and smooth.
The day lies before us to fill us with new ideas.
It unfolds with its serenity, and may we take it and care about it.               
There is so much to unfold before us, and we have an adventure to fulfill.
May we open it up like a page and delight in the phrases it reveals to us.
The mountains lay before us to open their arms and hold us.
A few birds soar quietly above us, and others sing a serenade.
May our soul be filled with peace and quiet.
May life continue to be generous with its love.
May we do this day justice and relish the wonders around us. May those we touch feel the comfort of our caring.
May our marks show up on this wondrous earth.
Stand ready to face the world.
Plant your feet solid, ready for this journey.
Divine Power, guide us and take our hands.
Help us to walk together in joy and tranquility,
peace and harmony.
And So It Is!
