A 'PERFECT PRAYER'

JENNY NELLES, STAFF EDITOR

"One single grateful thought raised to heaven is the most perfect prayer." So goes the quote by G. E Lessing. I have this quote on a bookmark. Many times, it falls out from well-worn pages when my thoughts need lifting.

Perhaps the reason why this rings true as more than a snappy saying, is that there's actually a way to prove the efficacy of gratitude—as the articles in our cover section point out. Gratitude isn't about masking discontent; it's about recognizing the present power of God's goodness that infuses our lives.
