Prayer

Gratitude is a prayer too.

We often pray when we need something. When we're scared, stuck, hurting.

But gratitude is a prayer too. Saying thank you for the meal, the roof, the people at the table, the breath in your lungs.

Grateful prayers change something in us. They turn our eyes from what's missing to what's already here.

Tonight, before you sleep, try a prayer that asks for nothing. Just list three thank-yous.
