A prayer

Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.

Lord, today was ordinary, and I don’t want ordinary days to pass by unnoticed. Thank you for this morning, for people who love me, for small mercies I usually take for granted. Open my eyes to the good things already in front of me instead of always reaching for what’s missing.

Let gratitude become a habit in me, not just a reaction to big blessings but a daily posture toward an ordinary, good day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
