Yes, there really is a prayer for going to the bathroom. I suppose it seems a bit silly and childish, but when you think about it, even those embarrassing bodily functions that we try not to talk about in mixed company are gifts from God. Without these, we would die.

So many things that we take for granted are tiny blessings from God if we can only see them through the lens of gratitude. So many details that we often neglect to be thankful for wouldn’t seem so small if suddenly they were missing. Like the ability to go to the bathroom regularly.

The questions remains: if all you had left over from yesterday were those things that you were grateful for and thanked God for, what would you have left? Who would you have left? After all, sometimes what you take for granted can be taken away.

So give thanks even when you go potty.
