Before going to bed, it's good to be thankful to God for the gift of another day.

When we are healthy, we don't always thank God for the gift of another day. We take it for granted and simply believe that we will keep on living.

Yet, every day is a gift to us and we do not know when the Lord will call us home.

Here is a prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours that recognizes this fact and expresses gratitude to God at the end of a day.
