Free Prayer Sunday - Craving Appreciation

I’m not usually someone who needs to be thanked constantly. Still, there are times when I admit that it would be nice to hear those words from certain people.  When they do not come, and their absence makes me feel unappreciated, these words help me to put things in perspective.

I'm marching through my self-published Busy Person's Prayer Book, front to back. This prayer is from the category, My Faults. Earlier, I posted prayers from the Work category (about jobs, layoffs, etc.), prayers from the Helping Others (homeless, terminally ill, etc.), and Hurting Others (judging others, etc.) categories. 

Craving Appreciation

Whenever I need to be appreciated

Remind me, Father, of your Son

How no one appreciated what He did

Yet he still did what had to be done.

Please do not pass it around without giving credit to the author (me) and where it was published - a line like this will do:   by Evelyn Mayfield, in the Busy Person's Prayer Book. 

The book is available for download for less than $4.

Upcoming free prayers in this category, My Faults, include the following prayers:
