Praying not to forget you

[endaman]

In the bad times I prayed to you Jesus so many times and you carried me and got me through to what I feel now are good times. Life is looking up for me again. I pray that I will not forget you now that I am feeling better, I pray that I will keep praying to you. I pray that we will all keep praying to you dear Lord even when life seems blissful, maybe then we should pray the most.

Amen.

I understand what you are saying completely, and used to do this myself, until I learned that expressing gratitude to Our Lord was a wonderful way to pray when things are going well. I start each day by yawning, stretching, and getting out of bed, getting on my knees, and thanking Him for bringing me safely to the start of a new day, and to make the best of this gift He has given me. In meditation, I remind myself that I am far better off than ninety percent of the world’s population, and only the fact that God chose to put me in this place at this time accounts for that. I also draft a “gratitude list,” and recall that each and every item on it, either directly or indirectly, is yet another example of His generosity to me.

And every Mass that I attend is a reminder of His greatest gift to me–that of faith and eternal life.

Gratitude is an action.
