Prayer of Thanksgiving

Good Morning God,

We are truly thankful to be in a relationship with you each and everyday.  We praise your name God for revealing to us some of your mysteries. God we are thankful when we have the opportunity to share your love with those who are hurting, feeling useless and believing no one cares about them.  We are thankful when sharing your love brings families, friends and enemies together.  We are thankful for the connections we have with each other because of you.

Today many of us will grieve the death of love ones, some will receive bad or good news, some will rejoice in the unity and restoration of family and some will be depressed and contemplating their next move.  God we pray this Thanksgiving morning that deep down in each of us we will use the stored up strength you've put in us.  We pray for those who will be traveling near and far.  We pray for those who are cooking for the first time.  We pray for those who will serve those less fortunate.  We pray that each of us will be willing to open the doors of our hearts for compassion, love, warmth, peace and joy you have to offer us.  When we open our hearts for these, there will be no room for hatred, strive, envy, jealousy and etc.  We are thanking you in advance as we bless the meals of this day.  Lord as you see fitting help us to be good stewards of in all you've given us this day.

Most of all God we are thankful to be in your presence on this day.  We pray this prayer through your Son name Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  Amen.
