AUGUST 3 — Sometimes Our Senses Can Be Dulled—Physically And Spiritually

Today’s passage:
“Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us
with benefits, even the God of our salvation.”
(Psalms 68:19)

Today’s prayer:
“Thank you, God for little things
that often come our way,
The things we take for granted
but don’t mention when we pray,
The unexpected courtesy,
the thoughtful, kindly deed,
A hand reached out to help us
in time of sudden need.
Oh, make us more aware, dear God,
of little daily graces
That come to us with sweet surprise
from never-dreamed-of places.”
—Helen Steiner Rice
