Evening Prayer Of Thanksgiving

A short evening prayer from Graced Moments - Evening Prayer Of Thanksgiving is rooted in the ancient wisdom tradition of Ireland and the natural elements. A simple pause at the end of the day to give thanks. Graced Moments - A Soulful Pause is a collection of prayers, reflections, and invitations to pause, not rooted in one particular path but honouring wisdom found across traditions.
The collection arises from many streams: ancient wisdom traditions and contemporary teachers, the land on which I live, the natural world, and the people and creatures I encounter in the course of ordinary days. I honour and thank all the teachers, formal and implicit, whose wisdom has helped shape my own understanding and words.

Transcript

As we begin, I want to honour and thank all the teachers, Formal and implicit, Who have supported and shaped my work in graced moments. My words are also shaped by a lifelong curiosity about the sacred and the many ways human beings have sought to live in relationship with one another, With the earth and with mystery. Evening prayer. As this day draws to a close. As the sun sinks towards the horizon. And the last light moves gently across the sky. I pray that my own spirit may settle now too. Releasing the busyness of the day. And welcoming the choirs of the evening. I give thanks for the gift of this day. For the breath of life that has carried me through its hours. For the earth that has supported my every step. For the sky that has stretched above me. And for sacred presence that has accompanied me. For all that has been good today, I give thanks. For moments of kindness, Beauty, And connection. For work accomplished and love shared. For the small and often unnoticed gifts of ordinary life. For this day is complete. And I too may rest. May it be so.
