Year-end Prayer: A Practice of Gratitude

As the year draws to a close, my heart swells with gratitude.

It's been a year of ups and downs, of lessons learned and blessings received.

I'm thankful for the roof over my head, the food on my table, and the love that surrounds me.

I'm grateful for the challenges that made me stronger and the joys that filled my heart with warmth.

Looking ahead to the new year and beyond, I offer a simple prayer.

I pray for health and happiness for myself and my loved ones. I pray for guidance and strength to face whatever comes my way. I pray for peace in the world and kindness in every heart.

I believe in a power greater than myself, a guiding force that watches over us all. I trust in this power to lead me on the right path, to provide comfort in times of need, and to fill my life with purpose and meaning.

With a grateful heart and a hopeful spirit, I embrace the future, knowing that I am never truly alone.

For 2025 and beyond.
