Thanksgiving Prayer
Lord thank you for having given us life. God you have given us everything that we need and could ever want. Help us to see with your eyes all the beauty that exists around us. Often we look around but don't really see how lucky we are. Help us to not complain about small things day in and day out either. But rather let us thank you for the simple things in life like the beautiful trees outside.
God help us to be conscious of everything that we have going for us, even if we are afflicted by sickness. Thou art glorious and can grant us the strength to use the power we posess to change our lives. Lord we are happy for what we have and will have because it comes from you, whatever comes from you is filled with glory and we accept it.
Thank you for having created the ocean for it is beautiful, the sun for it is bright, the moon for it is romantic, and the day and the night. Thank you for giving us food every day to eat and water to drink. You know our needs and fulfill them. Many worry saying what shall we eat or what shall we drink.
But we should be like the birds and have faith. They worry not as to what they will eat today or tomorrow, yet you provide for them Lord. Help us to have a greater faith in you Lord, and help us to not worry so much.
We thank you Lord for all the beautiful things you bring into our lives each day. Lord help the thanksgiving nature which is within us to become more present in our lives. So that when we begin to think negatively or complain about small things, we can begin to realize how small our problems are and be thankful for everything we already have. Help us to remember this prayer Lord.
Amen
