Inspired by lyrics to “Thank You, God” by Joy Katzen-Guthrie:
“Thank You, God, for this world of infinite joy and vibrant love. I’ve known the blessing of a boundless flow of miracles. I marvel at the beauty around me and within me, inspiring me to cherish Who I am.
Thank You, God, as I celebrate the gift of each new day, I experience renewal with each breath I take and I discover deeper meaning in the moment I am living, rememb’ring still more clearly Who I am.
With You, God, I rejoice in feeling nurtured and fulfilled, with steadfast faith in human life and in myself, fully alive, fully alive.
Thank You, God, for Your healing grace and comfort in my need, as You guide me with a spark of perfect clarity, my heart is blessed with understanding of my promise and my vision, rejoicing in the Truth … receptive to the light … Restoring me to faith of who I am, realizing my own essence of I Am.”
