Holy God:
We have no words to express the gratitude we feel for all
you have done. You have given yourself
to us in Jesus. You have given us your
life. You have loved us long before we
were aware of you. You have been
gracious to us in our failings and never held our sins against us.
You have poured out the blessings of life upon us. You have given us food to eat, clothes to
wear, friends and family who love us, homes in which to live, cars to drive,
and so many other things we so often take for granted or are tempted to think
we have gotten for ourselves through our own diligence.
You have given us so much more—you have given us the
privilege to live in a free and peaceful land where we can worship according to
the dictates of our own conscience. You
have given us health. You have given us
a sound mind. You have filled us with
joy.
You have also filled our lives with purpose and meaning by
making us agents of redemption and ministers of your Gospel. You have given us an open heaven and the ability
to speak to you in prayer anytime. You
have given us your spirit, your wisdom, you guidance.
Our hearts overflow with all the good things you have given
us, all the ways you have shown your love and shown us that we are deeply
loved.
We ask you to make us truly thankful. To always take time to say what it has meant
to us that you have shown your goodness to us.
You have made us beloved children and treated us like no earthly parent
ever could. And so, we thank you. We are eternally grateful to you.
Amen.
