One of the most beautiful prayers of the Church in LSB (based on the original in Service Book and Hymnal, I believe) begins with a thanksgiving to God I think we would do well to pray every day of our lives:
Almighty God,
we give thanks for all Your goodness
and bless You for the loves that sustains us from day to day.
We praise You for the gift of Your Son, our Savior,
in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
We thank You for the Holy Spirit, the Comforter;
for Your holy Church,
for the means of grace,
for the lives of all faithful and just people,
and for the hope of the life to come.
Help us to treasure in our hearts all that You have done for us,
and enable us to show our thankfulness in lives
that are wholly given to Your service.
