A Thanksgiving Prayer

Thank You Loving Father in Heaven for the amazing grace of 

this day with You, for drawing me in prayer, giving me hunger and

thirst for You. Thank You for the joy of repentance and forgiveness,

for sending the Holy Spirit to teach me, to guide and counsel me.

Thank You for the gifts, the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace,

kindness, gentleness and self-control; for the talents that

You've showered me with and for the opportunities to share them.

Thank You for encouraging me to ask when I have a need; to be humble

and acknowledge my weaknesses. Thank you for sending and putting people in my way to 

help me know You and understand You more. Thank You for enabling me to rise 

out of discouragement and walk in joy because even if I lack,

with You, I am filled. Thank You for Your goodness and mercy that follow me

wherever I go; to enable me to understand Your will and not my own.

Thank You for the countless blessings You have given us:

good health, food I eat everyday and warm home.
Thank You for the gift of family and love ones;

for my safety as I come in and go out. Thank You for supplying all my needs

in accordance with Your richness in glory; for giving me favor with You

and my fellows. Thank You for leading me to the right people.

Thank You for freeing me from sickness in body, mind and spirit, and bringing good out 

of the times when trouble comes. Thank You for giving me the Spirit of Wisdom, 

for inviting me to search for You and not for worldly things.

Thank You for the grace to walk in forgiveness, for opening my hands to give to the needy;

opening my eyes to see the needs of my brothers and sisters.

Thank You for teaching me to accept them as who they are and

not because of what they have and what they do. 

And most of all, Thank You for the greatest gift -

Your Son Jesus Christ in whom I pray in His Mighty Name. Amen.
