We often use Tennyson's line: "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. " But little attention do we pay to this fact that how less we pray. We actually don't God enough for the little things that we possess - those things are only assumed little by us because we never think of them that way.
Here I would like to share with my readers a nice little prayer I read on the internet:
O God, I thank You for this day of life
for eyes to see the skyfor ears to hear the birds
for feet to walk amidst the trees
for hands to pick the flowers from the earth
for a sense of smell to breathe in the sweet
perfumes of nature
for a mind to think about and appreciate
the magic of everyday miracles
for a spirit to swell in joy at Your mighty presence
everywhere.
A Prayer by: Marian Wright Edelman,
Founder of the Children's Defense Fund

A wonderful prayer.
We must count our blessings, not miseries and
develop the attitude of gratitude.
Thanks for sharing.
God bless.
Most of us are taught this poem in primary school, we repeat these lines following our teachers and believe in the God's grandeur.
Sadly enough, as we grow up we tend to over look what God has given us, we don't ever think that HE has made us physically complete while there are many unfortunate people who strive to live with their disabilities.
I truely thank God for every good that happen to me and for the wrong in life I feel, myself responsible in some way or other.
God is always grate and we must always thank HIM.
Many of us have been tought this prayer in our primary school. We believed in the God's grandeur when we were small, but as we grew up we have steadily forgotten the greatness of the all mighty. We should always thank God for what HE has given us when there are plenty physically incomplete, but still struglling to live and thay too show their gratitude to God.
