A Morning Prayer to Say the Kind Things I Think

Lord, I think kind things all day long
and hardly ever say them.
I think, that was well done,
and keep quiet.
I think, I'm proud of you, I love you,
you look lovely today,
and the words stay stuck inside.

Today, let me say them out loud.
Give me the nerve to tell people
what they mean to me,
before the moment passes.
Let me thank the cashier by name,
praise the work, admire the garden,
and tell someone I've been praying for them.

Kind words cost me nothing,
and they might carry someone through the day.
Let my words be sweet like honey today,
healing to someone who is tired and sore.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

When to Pray This

Pray this at breakfast or while you are getting ready. Then keep one kind sentence in mind to say to someone before the day is over, even if it is only a thank-you.
