A PRAY OF THANKSGIVING
Heavenly Father, Giver of all gifts, with grateful hearts we look unto thee. We thank thee:
For thyself—thy everlasting love, thy eternal faithfulness, thy unchanging nature.
For Jesus, heaven's love gift, and for the blessed hope he instills within us.
For the Spirit's coming, for his abode in our hearts, teaching, comforting, and guiding us through the gloom.
For the church, the Lamb's bride, for the fellowship it affords, for the salvation it enjoys, for the glory it anticipates.
For the home, for the memories the home awakens, for our children, for our parents, for all the precious ties of nature.
For the harvest, for the land of plenty, for deliverance from flood, famine, pestilence and war etc.
For life and life varied experiences, bitter and sweet, knowing that, if we love thee supremely, all things will work out for our ultimate good and eternal glory.
Like the stars of the heavens, or as the sand, which is upon the seashore, thy blessings are numberless. We thank thee for all. Grant that we may take them and use them wisely
When life’s fitful fever is over, ana our work here is done, grant us an inheritance that is fairer than day. In the name of him for whom we thank thee most. Amen.
