Thanksgiving

Father,
I am so thankful for so many things! I thank you for my family-for the fact that YOU created the family unit to resemble the church body of Christ.

I am thankful for my home, for the food we have on our table.
I thank you for the warmth on a cold winter day.
I give you my thanks for our income, and that you teach us good stewardship.
Your Word tells me to give thanks IN all things-
so I pray for discernment, that I will know how to be thankful for the trials, tests, and temptations that You guide me through and bring me to a higher level of understanding, strength, and obedience to Your Word.
I thank you, Lord, for all things....teach me to appreciate my circumstances and view them as a challenge and not as failure or punishment.
Teach me Lord, to be thankful for the lessons as well as the blessings.
Thank You, Father, for Jesus my Lord and Savior and for the Holy Spirit-Who is my comfort and guide.
I Thank you in the blessed name of Jesus, the Messiah of the world.
