Prayer of Thanksgiving: 12/2/2012 Prayer Gathering
We thank you Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for the
faith of our brothers and sisters in the Christ and for the love that
you have for all your saints (Col.1:3-4), and for your Son in whom we
have breath and life and salvation (Ac.17:25). We thank you Lord for
the hope we have in the life and work of Jesus our Savior, and for His
death on our behalf, and for His resurrection guaranteeing us new life
wherein we now walk by the power of your Holy Spirit (Heb.6:19). You
have blessed us with so many things that we take for granted: the air we
breathe, the fresh scent of flowers, the taste of foods that we enjoy,
and the splash of colors that entertain our eyes—so many simple things
that enrich our lives. And you have not simply left us entertained but
you have blessed our lives in much greater ways.
Thank you Lord for the freedoms we enjoy in this nation in which you have placed us. For the families you have blessed us with, and the ability to care for them. For a land in which we may travel and interact freely and where we may worship you without compulsion nor persecution. We thank you for the salvation of our dear friends and loved ones, and for wonderful relationships you have blessed us with here in this brief life.
Thank you Father for the great men who have trod the path of faith before us, making the way smoother for us and for leaving us signposts that make the way less perilous. Thank you for men you called to your service that love you and your Word, and for education that is available for those whom you have called to Shepherd your flock and for the time and effort they invest in the study of your Word.
We thank you for your Word which you have given to us in our own language, that we might know you and grow in our knowledge of you all our days. Many are the blessings that stem from your glorious and unchangeable attributes in which we can trust and find refuge. We thank you that we may find solace in you amidst turmoil and uncertainty, amidst loss of job, or health, or loved ones. We thank you for the certainty that your omnipotent hand holds our future secure and that when our days are through, we will be gathered to your glory. We come now to this time of thanksgiving to praise your name collectively. In Christ, Amen.
