In A Prayer On Going Into My House, W.B. Yeats offers a prayer of thanksgiving and protection for his home. He begins by thanking God for the beauty of his home and the peace it brings him. He then asks for protection from all evil and harm, and for the strength to face any challenges that may come his way. He also asks for the courage to be a good steward of his home and to use it for the benefit of others. Finally, he asks for the grace to be a good neighbor and to be a blessing to those around him. This prayer is a reminder of the importance of home and the need to be thankful for the blessings it brings.
