In case you need some help in the prayer department we have listed seven thanksgiving prayers to try out. Ultimately, I am sure who ever you pray to will be happy to hear from you no matter what you say!
Thanksgiving Prayer 1
For an easy and quick prayer this Thanksgiving grace is for you.
Here at the table now we pray,
keep us together day by day.
May this our family circle be
held fast by love and unity. Amen.
Thanksgiving Prayer 2
This Thanksgiving prayer comes from the Bible. Use the Apostle Paul’s words to share your gratitude.
God most provident,
we join all creation in raising to you a hymn of thanksgiving through Jesus Christ your son. For generation upon generation peoples of this land have sung of your bounty; we too offer you praise for the rich harvest we have received at your hands. Bless us and this food which we share with grateful hearts. Continue to make our land fruitful and let our love for you be seen in our pursuit of peace and justice and in our generous response to those in need. Praise and glory to you, Lord God, now and for ever. Amen.
Thanksgiving Prayer 3
With our world engaged in many wars the next prayer are for the soldiers abroad.
Our Father,
we thank you for so many things.
We thank you for our home, our food and all the provision.
We thank you for this great nation.
We thank you for keeping us safe this year.
We thank you for the courage and bravery that our loved one has shown this past year by serving us and all the families of this country.
We thank you for him and ask you to continue to protect and guide him during his time of service.
Bring them all home safely so that we again can gather next year and thank you for even more.
Thank you Father for the meal that has been prepared for us.
We receive it joyfully and bless you for it.
Amen.
Thanksgiving Prayer 4
Give thanks for the turkey itself. Here is a PETA commercial which was banned from television (this is a family website, so the advertisement is not risque, but it is graphic on how turkeys are treated).
Thanksgiving Prayer 5
Feeling deeply patriotic this Thanksgiving, but not an Obama fan? Here is a prayer you can offer for our 44th president.
Dear God,
We are thankful for your divine provenance that limits presidential terms to four years as we await the coming of Nobama.
Until that time, give Obama eyes so that he may see past GQ magazine,
ears so that he can hear all the tortured screaming,
a brain so that he can make a decision,
and a nose to find his smelly mistakes.
Amen
Thanksgiving Prayer 6
Did you believe a Democrat is not just a political affiliation title, but rather a high calling from the Divine? If so, the below Thanksgiving prayer should reflect your inner most convictions.
Holy, holy God,
We believe that thou art God, and we believe that thou art holy,
and that thou art a holy Democrat, and that thou wilt be a Democrat forever.
Holy God,
We believe that thou hast separated us from our Republican brethren.
We do not believe in the unwise and unsacred traditions of our Republican brethren, which were taught to them by the childishness of their forefathers.
Rather we believe that thou hast elected us to the White House; and also thou hast made it known unto us that we should have majority control of Congress.
Thou art the same yesterday, today, and forever;
and thou hast elected us to save our country from Republican ignorance.
Around us are elected Republicans who, by thy wrath, will be cast down to Hell.
For this justice, O God, we thank thee.
And again we thank thee, O God, that as Democrats we are your chosen and a holy people. Amen.
Thanksgiving Prayer 7
If the other six prayers don’t work for you than our final prayer should cover all other aspects of your gratitude this Thanksgiving season.
We come, O Lord, these Autumn days,
With hymns of gratitude and praise.
Harvest of gold the plains adorn,
Rich fruits roll forth from Plenty’s horn;
Thou givest treasures from the rocks;
The little hills are clothed with flocks;
The seas are with their burden white,
And new Thy mercies day and night.
For changing seasons as they go,
For Autumn leaf, for Winter’s snow,
For the green verdure of the Spring,
For life in plant and life on wing,
For Summer with its ripening heat,
For hopes the rounded years complete,
For morn and noon, for night and day,
For light that marks our heavenward way;
For all the blessings of Thy hand,
For freedom in fair freedom’s land,
Pursuits of thrift that bring us wealth,
For schools and churches, peace and health,
For commerce, yielding up her stores,
Brought for man’s use from distant shores;
For countless gifts, O Lord, we raise
Our hymns of gratitude and praise.
Thou settest man in families,
And all his wants the earth supplies;
Of children, be they far or near,
Of children’s children gathered here,
We thank Thee for Thy gracious care,
And lift for them the secret prayer,
As clustered round each social board
We eat and drink, and praise the Lord.
