Surely the Lord is in this place,
and I was not aware of it.
—Genesis 28:16
I’ve had very few health issues that I’m aware of. I wonder how often God has healed when I was unaware.
I’ve had very few close calls that I’m aware of. I wonder how many I’ve had of which I was unaware.
You know what I’m saying? There are blessings of which we’re aware. And many of which we’re unaware.
I once wrote this short prayer, which I pray frequently, to address my unawareness.
Thank you, Father, for the blessings you send my way:
seen and unseen,
known and unknown,
recognized and unrecognized,
acknowledged and unacknowledged.
There are blessings for which I fail to thank God because they slip by me unseen, unknown, unrecognized—therefore, unacknowledged.
Today, I give grateful thanks for the many unseen, unknown, unrecognized, and unacknowledged blessings.
Give thanks today for your unknown blessings.
