Thanks to Brian Kon for asking for a plural form of this prayer, to be said on behalf of a group, or perhaps by a group (like a class) speaking together:

[About this prayer: Sometimes the best prayers are the simple ones that come about spontaneously. Solomon Ratt made this one up that way, then realized it would work well for students. We’re glad he shared it!]

How would this prayer change if you are giving thanks on behalf of a group?
That’s a great question. Bravo for understanding that you need different forms of each verb! Solomon Ratt has just come through, and I’ve updated the text. He’s also sent a video that i will upload as soon as I’ve got bandwidth.
