A Thanksgiving Day Prayer
Great God, giver of all good gifts,
We ask You, above all,
On this Thanksgiving Day,
To give us truly grateful hearts.
May we give thanks for the beauty around us,
in Your creation, in our relationships,
in our families, and in our workplaces.
May we never take for granted the daily gifts
of good food and good friends,
but always enjoy them with thanksgiving.
Thank You, too, for the comfort of our homes and for the blessings of our family life.
And though we sometimes feel the heavy weight
Of our burdens and cares,
thank You for the grace to see them through.
When we come to the end of this day,
and every day thereafter,
may our hearts still be grateful and our prayer
full of thanksgiving.
Amen.
