Thanksgiving Prayers to Inspire Gratitude for God’s Blessings

1. We give you thanks upon thanks,
   O Lord our God,
   Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
   by all means, at all times, in all places.
   For you have sheltered, assisted,
   supported, and led us on
   through the past times of our lives,
   and brought us to this hour.
   O good and loving,
   grant that we may pass this holy day,
   and all the times of our lives, without sin,
   with all joy, health, salvation,
   sanctification, and fear of you.
   O Lord God, drive away from us
   and from your holy Christian and apostolic Church
   all envy, all fear, all temptation,
   all the working of Satan,
   and all conspiracy of wicked men.
   Supply us with things good and profitable.
   In whatever ways we have sinned against you,
   in word, deed, or thought,
   pass over in your love and goodness.
   Do not forsake us, O God,
   for we hope in you.
   Lead us not into temptation,
   but deliver us from the evil one
   and from his works;
   by the grace, compassion, and goodness
   of your only Son. Amen.

• almighty and everlasting Lord God,
  Jesus Christ our Lord,
  be merciful to me,
  and forgive my sins,
  through the partaking of your most blessed body and blood;
  for you have spoken, saying:
  “Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood,
  abides in me, and I in him.”

Therefore create in me a clean heart,
and renew a right spirit within me;
and uphold me with your free Spirit,
and deliver me from all the snares
and malice of the devil;
that I may share in the joys of heaven.
Amen.

1. Heavenly Father: we thank Thee for food and remember the hungry. We thank Thee for health and remember the sick. We thank Thee for friends and remember the friendless. We thank Thee for freedom and remember the enslaved. May these remembrances stir us to service that Thy gifts to us may be used for others. Amen. – “Dear Abby” Columnist
2. Dear God, Thank you for your amazing power and work in our lives. Thank you for your goodness and for your blessings over us. Thank you for your great love and care. Thank you for your sacrifice so that we might have freedom and life. Forgive us when we don’t thank you enough, for who you are, for all you do, and for all you’ve given. Help us to set our eyes and our hearts on you afresh. Renew our spirits, fill us with your peace and joy. We love you and we need you, this day and every day.

6. On that day let us gather in sanctuaries dedicated to worship and in homes blessed by family affection to express our gratitude for the glorious gifts of God; and let us earnestly and humbly pray that He will continue to guide and sustain us in the great unfinished tasks of achieving peace, justice, and understanding among all men and nations and of ending misery and suffering wherever they exist. – John F. Kennedy, November 5 (for Thanksgiving Day), 1963 {A Prayer of Gratitude}
