Thanksgiving PrayerBe inspired by our thanksgiving prayer to give thanks for all that you have during this special time of the year. While we should be thankful and offer prayer each day of the year, Thanksgiving is a time when we are focused on prayer for all of our blessings.Prayer is a way to talk to God, it is a way to express your feelings for all that is going on in your life. And Thanksgiving is a time to stop and count your many blessings! |

Thanksgiving Prayer Author: Byron Pulsifer, © 2012 As we sit together around this table, We want to say thank you for allowing us To be together in a world where so many families Do not have this opportunity to do so. Give us pause as we celebrate, to count our blessings For without your blessing, this day would not be counted. For we have so many thanks to say to you As we prepare to enjoy the food you have So bountifully allowed us to share, And to extend our blessings with one another yet another day. Lord, it is not that we do not appreciate Your blessings as each day unfolds It is only that we do not thank you As often as each day brings with it your blessings. Please forgive us for not counting you As our true friend, our true light As often as we should, Oh Lord, For without you, we are lost. We thank you for showing us our failures So that we may see more opportunities, To experience the joy of overcoming obstacles in life As you daily guide us through each challenge. And, Oh Lord, thank you for saving us For without you, we would suffer forever. It is only through your graces, Oh Lord, That we sit here today united within our home. Amen.  Father In Heaven Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson For flowers that bloom about our feet; for tender grass, so fresh, so sweet; for song of bird, and hum of bee; for all things fair we hear or see, Father in heaven, we thank Thee! Thank You Lord Author: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2012 For being there for us anytime, anyplace, For giving us shoes to walk upon, For the pretty song birds and the active bees, For hearing fairness, and witnessing integrity, Lord, we thank you. The rain that falls, for growth of our crops, For bountiful fruit trees that help nourish our bodies, For the shelter you have allowed us to live in, For the blessings of families within our home, Lord, we thank you. For the dawn to give us another day to serve you, For our work so that we may feed our family, For the cooling winds of summer and shade of trees, For a day to relax and worship, Lord, we thank you. For our food upon the table, For protection from the cold of night, For giving us your Son to lead us to your light, . For all that you so unselfishly provide, Lord, in Jesus name we thank you. Amen.  Words About Thanksgiving and Prayer: Begin by thanking Him for some little thing, and then go on, day by day, adding to your subjects of praise; thus you will find their numbers grow wonderfully; and, in the same proportion, will your subjects of murmuring and complaining diminish, until you see in everything some cause for thanksgiving.
