Thanksgiving Prayer

A guest post by Janet Eriksson . . .

At this time of Thanksgiving, Lord, we want to bless You with our lives, our thanks, our praise.

Help us to stay mindful of Your goodness throughout the coming year.

God, we thank You for life, for relationship with You and those You have brought into our lives, for salvation, for the joy of being with You in every moment, and for the chance to always be growing and transforming to be more like Jesus.

We thank You, God, for all You provide. When we feel like we are lacking in provision, help us to focus on the abundance of all You have blessed us with. We cannot begin to count Your blessings.

In Jesus’ name. Amen

Lord Jesus, I love how You show me the importance of rest. You knew when to stop and just “be.”
