Three Thanksgiving Prayers

November 27, 2014 By Jean Wise

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States. No matter where you live may these prayers bring you hope, peace and love today.

Thanksgiving prayers

 

O God, when I have food, 
help me to remember the hungry;

When I have work,

help me to remember the jobless;

When I have a home,

help me to remember those who have no home at all;

When I am without pain,

help me to remember those who suffer,

And remembering,

help me to destroy my complacency;

bestir my compassion,

and be concerned enough to help;

By word and deed,

those who cry out for what we take for granted.

Amen.

Samuel F. Pugh

 

Give me a good digestion, Lord, and also something to digest;

Give me a healthy body, Lord, and sense to keep it at its best.

Give me a healthy mind, good Lord, to keep the good and pure in sight;

Which, seeing, sin, is not appalled, but finds a way to set it right.

Give me a mind that is not bound, that does not whimper, whine or sigh.

Don’t let me worry overmuch about the fussy thing called “I.”

Give me a sense of humor, Lord; give me the grace to see a joke,

To get some happiness from life and pass it on to other folk.

Thomas H. B. Webb

 

Thank You, Thank You, Generous God!

Thank You, thank You, thank You, generous God!

You have injected life with joy, thus we know laughter.

You have dabbed creation with color, thus we enjoy beauty.

You have whistled a divine tune into the rhythm of life, thus we hear music.

You have filled our minds with questions, thus we appreciate mystery.

You have entered our hearts with compassion, thus we experience faith.

Thank You, God, Thank You. Thank You!

 

– C. Welton Gaddy
