LET YOUR SON PRAY THIS...
Thank You, God, for the body You have given me. Most of the time I take my
health for granted. I forget how fortunate I am to live without pain or disability,
how blessed I am to be able to see and hear and walk and eat. I forget that this
body of mine, with all its imperfections is a gift from You.
When I am critical of my appearance, remind me, God, that I am created in Your
holy image. If I become jealous of someone else’s appearance, teach me to
treasure my unique form.
Help me, God, to care for my body. Teach me to refrain from any action that
will bring harm to me. If I fall prey to a self-destructive habit, fill me with
the strength to conquer my cravings.
Lead me to use my body wisely, God. Guide my every limb, God, to perform acts
of compassion and kindness.
I thank You, God, for creating me as I am. Amen.
