A Prayer for Friday, May 10, 2013

Forty-First Day of Easter

Thank you, O God, for this life that I live, a life that I did nothing to earn and that is thus a true gift from you.

I acknowledge, though, that while my life is a gift, there is much I can do to put myself in a position to live it more fully—things like exercising, eating right, and getting enough sleep. I acknowledge that as I do what I can to maintain and to improve my health, you will do even more in and through me.

Help me to do those things so that I can be the best possible version of who I am.

Thank you, O God, for this new life in Christ that I live, a life that I did nothing to earn and that is thus a true gift from you.

I acknowledge, though, that while my new life in Christ is a gift, there is much I can do to put myself in a position to live it more fully—things like praying, listening to your Spirit, reflecting on the life of Jesus, worshiping, and serving. I acknowledge that as I do what I can to maintain and to improve my spirit, you will do even more in and through me.

Help me to do those things so that I can be the best possible version of who I am.

Amen.
