AN ORIGINAL SELAH37 PRAYER
Generous God, open my attention to gifts I pass by: breath, friendship, daily provision, and moments of rest. Thank you for kindness I did not create or earn. Let gratitude make me generous rather than complacent. Help me notice another person’s need and share what I have received. Amen.
