1. Be thankful you’re awake and alive.
Every morning you open your eyes is a quiet miracle. Life isn’t something we can take for granted—just being here, breathing, and able to think and feel is something worth appreciating.
“Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.”
Buddha

2. Be thankful for a new day to start fresh.
No matter what happened yesterday, today gives you a chance to begin again. You have time to do good things, fix mistakes, and grow. That’s a powerful gift. Each morning is a fresh opportunity to grow, heal, and move forward.
“With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.”
Eleanor Roosevelt

3. Be thankful for the invisible support all around you.
From the air you breathe to the people who care about you, so much holds you up without you even seeing it. Whether you call it nature, love, or something divine, it’s good to pause and say thank you.
“We are held by invisible threads of grace.”

Let us pray:

Dear our merciful God,
Thank You for this new day,
For the breath in my lungs,
And the gift of being alive.

Let me remember—
Each morning is a chance to begin again.
Help me use today wisely,
With kindness, courage, and love.

I’m grateful for all I cannot see:
The grace that holds me,
The love that surrounds me,
And the quiet strength that carries me through.

May I walk through this day
With a thankful heart,
Open hands,
And peaceful steps.

Amen.

With love and prayers,
