Novena for God's Blessings – 9 Days of Prayer

For material needs, contentment, friendships, and all of God's abundant gifts

The Novena for God's Blessings is a prayer of expectant gratitude. It asks the Lord to pour out his gifts on your daily needs, from material provision to contentment and friendships, while thanking him for what you already have. It reflects the Catholic habit of asking boldly and giving thanks. Because it is not tied to a feast, it is a flexible choice for birthdays, new homes or any season of beginning. Each day pairs a request with thanksgiving, which keeps the prayer from becoming a shopping list. You might be surprised how much it changes the way you notice ordinary good things in your week.
