The Prayer of a Grateful Heart

  1. Imagine that you are at a slide show. Watch as only pictures of the happy moments of your life appear on the screen. Breathe in once more the “yes” to your life that was in those moments.
  2. As your “yes” to your own life deepens, see if some moments appear on the screen that surprise you—moments which at the time seemed meaningless or which you couldn’t accept, but which you now see as gifts because of the good that has come from them. As you continue to breathe in your “yes” to the moments that you see on the screen, breathe out any feelings of failure or fear that your life has been meaningless.
  3. Thank God for the gift of your entire life and the way that all of it has meaning in God’s eyes.
