Gracious God,
you provide for all creation.
Make me aware this day
of both your care and provision.
Each breath I take comes as a gift.
Each occurrence of shelter,
food,
warmth,
family,
and protection
come as blessings.
As I am grateful for these things,
make me aware of those who don’t have.
Empower generosity within me
so that I might share what I have with others.
Let me be a conduit of your grace and love
so that others might sing your praises.
Through Christ, amen.
