A Thanksgiving Prayer
Our most gracious heavenly Father, we humbly come before you praising you for all things. This special day, this day of thanksgiving we do just that; Father, we thank you. We thank you for our family, our friends, our very positions in life. Father, we thank you that we have been blessed to live in this great country, we thank you for the many blessings you have provided. You teach us in Psalm 100 to enter your gates with thanksgiving and your courts with praise; giving thanks to you and praising your name. Father, this special day we do that.
Father, this special day, we are so thankful for the many things You have provided, but we are most thankful for the cross. Father, we are thankful that despite our continual failures, you sent your Son to atone for our shortcomings, to provide a path back to you, a path to a restored relationship.
Father, while we are so thankful for our many blessings, we know that the Son of God had no place to even lay his head. So Father, this day we remember the sacrifice needed so that everyday we might be thankful. Father, we are so blessed and at the root, at the core of that blessing is the grace and love of our Creator; our God and for that we are truly and eternally grateful.
For it is Jesus name we pray!
Amen
Happy Thanksgiving my friends!
Grace and Peace
