Thanksgiving Day
It’s Thanksgiving Day here in the U. S., and I wanted to offer a prayer. It is my habit to pray in the plural because I am of the firm conviction that no Christian ever prays alone . Father in Heaven, we come before you this morning in awe of Your justice, Your power, Your love, Your mercy and Your grace. We praise You for who You are as You reveal Yourself to us in your Word . We confess, Lord, that we have sinned against You, in the things we have done, the things we have thought, and the things we have said . We have sinned in doing things we should not have . We have sinned in not doing the things You would have us do . We are truly sorry, and in reverent fear of You , we humbly repent . Please forgive us. We thank You that we can be forgiven because of what Christ did for us on the cross . Give us new hearts and new lives that we may glorify You in all we think, say, and do . Help us to live each day looking backward to the cross as our hope and forward to heaven as our vision ....
