A Prayer for Saturday, November 30, 2013

All of It

Thank you, God, for all of it; thank you for life in its totality.

Thank you for—

--the good and the bad,
--the pain and the gain,
--the brokenness and the healing,
--the friends and the enemies,
--the need and the supply,
--the tragedies and the triumphs,
--the sorrows and the joys—

and for so much more.

Indeed, thank you for all of it, for it is only in and through our total life experience that we make progress in knowing who you are and in discovering who we are.

Amen.
