Friend in Need

By Mary Boscaino

You know, there are times
when I think I can’t find You.
Instead of sending me help
in the form of a knight in shining armor,
You give me the neighbor
who was just minding their own business.
But thank you, too, for not letting me
act like the man who says, “Where were You?”
Thank You for giving Yourself to me
and allowing me to see You
in the form of neighbors and friends
who give of themselves so freely.

New Life

At the darkest hour, life triumphs,
beating back despair with irrepressible joy.
And the world rejoices because they know:

One new life makes all death meaningful.

Thank You for remembering
what it is our hearts need,
and providing it in the smallest of ways.

Gratitude to You
for laying down the foundation of faith.

Prayers - Thanksgiving Prayer

By Sue Bradford Edwards

With Thanks

Thank You for all that I have, WithThanks-Prayer

all that I am, and all that I may one day become.

I know this is possible because
of the opportunities You gave me,
the teachers You sent my way.

Please help me give back to the world,
by being the glowing example
that You mean for me to be
each and every day.

The Language of Love

Prayers - Thanksgiving Prayer

The Language of Love

Thanks be to You WTheLanguageofLove-Prayer

for semi-colons,
for m-dashes, ellipses, and commas.
Glory be in the languages of Earth,
in Morse code and Braille,
in Swahili and Portuguese.
You made us social beings,
then gave us the gift that binds,
that brings us together
in conversation, chatter, exclamation.
Joy comes from communication,
as does peace.
Help us to use our words wisely and well.
