A Prayer of Gratitude at the End of the Day

[Kye Conner]

Now I am lying in bed, preparing to sleep and get ready for Sunday worship. As I lie in bed, I know that everything is complete; today’s tasks have been fulfilled. I recognize that all has been accomplished by the strength of Lord.

Just like every day, peace and happiness accompany me.

Amen!

Hi, Can't say that is also the case for me. What I can say  is God has taught me, given me some insight into the thinking expressed and recorded of Job. Do we not give thanks to God accepting evil as well as good. That all is likely not complete, that more  "stuff" will be waiting  come tomorrow.  

I am told don't worry about it, it is for tomorrow. Tend to it then, not worrying about it today. Worship every day, rest when appropriate, do all things secure in the hope certain that is Jesus. His gospel, his sacrifice, being fully sufficient to redeem me, that I may have eternal life with Him.

Actually . . . I agree with Both of you . . . but not really sure you are disagreeing with the OP . . . Certainly Job was an good guy, but, some of his outlooks about what was going to happen to him in the future was just plain depressing (no wonder considering what happened to him).

I see the OP as more of an statement of faith about the days' activities giving thanks for what was accomplished and being happy about it and looking forward to assembly with other believers for an time of worship and the things of God.

In my perspective . . . Happy is better . . . . better for sleep . . . better for outlook . . . better for those around me . . . just plain better .

In the words of Phil Robertson (who we should be praying for regarding his medical problems) . . . "Happy happy happy".

whoopsie . . . look at the time . . . time to get ready for Church!!! . . . . what a blessing!

I am not. I am simply stating my  having a different perspective, based upon my own  personal life experience(s).

ps- Actually I resolve a lot of the day's trials while asleep at night for four hours, saving me much time during the day to be doing new and often more productive activities.

pps- Or did anyways, I am not especially physically productive anymore. But I think a lot -LOL

1. "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
   Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
   Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
   Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
2.  
3. This is my story, this is my song,
   • Praising my Savior all the day long;
     This is my story, this is my song,
     Praising my Savior all the day long.
   •  
4. Perfect submission, perfect delight,
   Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
   Angels, descending, bring from above
   Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
5.  
6. Perfect submission, all is at rest,
   I in my Savior am happy and blest,
   Watching and waiting, looking above,
   Filled with His goodness, lost in His love."
