Dave's Diary

The following is a beautiful prayer of quiet reflection for the ending of the year, created by “Practicing the Way“. Perhaps you could take some time out to pray through it before your celebration this evening. If you’re having one, that is.

As 2025 ends, take some time to re-experience God in the beauty of the things He’s graciously given you. This is an invitation to experience God again in the myriad of the seen and unseen blessings He pours into our lives.

BECOME STILL

Take a moment to breathe deeply. Become aware of God’s presence. After reading each prayer below, take two minutes to experience the joyful, kind, and loving presence of your Father who so joyfully supplies all you need. You might like to keep a pen and paper handy to write down particular memories or blessings God has given you over the year during the prayerful silence in between.

P R A Y E R

Good Father,

For every breath I’ve breathed,
I thank and remember you with love.

Silence for two minutes.

For every meal, drink, and good night’s sleep,
I thank and remember you with love.

Silence for two minutes.

For every friendship and loved one,
I thank and remember you with love.

Silence for two minutes

For my very existence in this beautiful world,
I thank and remember you with love.

Silence for two minutes

Amen!
