THANKSGIVING PRAYER
Great are you O Lord and marvelous are Your works, no words suffice to praise Your marvels. We praise You, we bless You, we give thanks to You, this is our prayer to you O our God. We are here together on this day, as family, as part of a nation to give You thanks Lord and Savior unto Your loving and abundant goodness for all the benefits which you have poured forth on us.
Filled with great awe of Your immeasurable mercies and love, receive our humble prayer as we offer you this praise and thanksgiving for all that You have provided us, graced us, and blessed us. We ask You to enable us to walk before You in holiness, goodness, and purity all the days of our lives in fitting gratitude for Your inexhaustible loving kindness towards us as Your children.
We give thanks to You today, for our family (ies), our children (grand), our relatives and friends in our lives. We offer thanks for the first fruits we have been blessed with. Most of all we thank you for saving us and giving us eternal life. We ask today with loving hearts to bless the food and drink as we offer this Thanksgiving meal in our gratitude for all and in all.
Bless us, protect us, and keep us, for blessed are You, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit be all thanksgiving, glory, and worship, now and always unto the ages of ages. Amen.
