A Post Thanksgiving Prayer
A Post-Thanksgiving Prayer and Reflection
This post-Thanksgiving prayer is on my heart . . .
Heavenly Father, we come to Your throne with both reverence and gratitude.
Thank You for who You are.
Thank You for all that You have done, and for all that You will continue to do in our lives.
In Your great big universe, we are small in nature, but we are not insignificant.
As Scripture says so beautifully in Psalm 8:4,
What is man that You think of him,
And a son of man that You are concerned about him?1
Thank You for thinking of us.
We remain awestruck by Your grace.
Even though we fail You again and again, we have forgiveness through Your Son.
Our hope rests in Jesus, not in our works or any politician or religious leader.
Only Jesus!
He alone is our Savior.
Any one person proclaiming lordship or being treated as such is a false teacher.
We look at how our world has changed – where Your name is despised by many, even mocked openly in all forms of media.
We deserve Your wrath, and yet You remain patient.
In Scripture, 1 Timothy 2:1-6, tells us that You want “all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.2
Your timing is always perfect.
We know that you will one day return and those of us who are Your children will be with You for eternity in paradise.
Only God can do that!
All glory and honor to You, our Lord most High.
Hallowed be Your Name above all the earth.
We praise You in your Son’s Holy Name,
Amen.
Praise His Glorious Name ¯ A Post-Thanksgiving Prayer
As David said in his address to the assembly,
Yours, Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and on the earth; Yours is the dominion, Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. – 1 Chronicles 29:11, (NASB).3
