(PRINT) (lftd.org) (VN) (C1) (C2) (Ko) (Sp) (Fr) (It) (De) (Ru) (Ar) ("Prayer To Receive Christ") Thanks be to God for His indescribable Gift! -- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 16 Be joyful always; 17 Pray continually; 18 Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 
Thanksgiving Prayer With Thankful hearts we praise You, Lord, On this Thanksgiving Day. We ask that You stay near us And hear us as we pray. For food and shelter we are grateful, For all the blessings from above, For health, for friends, for dear one For showing us Your love. We're grateful for the rain You send And for the sunshine bright and warm, For all the times You've kept from us Misfortune, grief, and harm. The greatest gift of all, though, Lord, Is Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who is our loving Savior And a friend to everyone. -- Kathleen Boehm +*+*+*+*+*+*+ -- Philippians 4:6-7 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with Thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the Peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. True Thanksgiving means that we need to Thank God for what He has done for us, and not to tell Him what we have done for Him. -- George R. Hendrick
Give Thanks Give Thanks with a grateful heart, Give Thanks to the Holy One; Give Thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son. And now let the weak say “I am strong.” Let the poor say “I am rich.” Because of what the Lord has done for us. Give Thanks. -- Henry Smith +*+*+*+*+*+*+ -- 2 Corinthians 2:14 But thanks be to God, Who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him. -- Colossians 2:6-7 6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with Thankfulness. The Christian who walks with the Lord and keeps constant communion with Him will see many reason for rejoicing and Thanksgiving all day long. ~ Warren Wiersbe
A Thanksgiving Prayer Dear Father in Heaven Please lend me Your ear, 'Cause I've got a Prayer You'll be happy to hear. LORD, there's no request list This time when I Pray, I just want to give Thanks This Thanksgiving Day. First, I want to Thank You For gifts from above: Your unending mercy, Your undeserved love. And Thank You for sending Your Son down to earth, For now those in Jesus Can have second birth. LORD, Thank You for saving Your children from Hell, And giving Your Spirit Who comes to indwell. And Thank You for choosing me To be Your own, For now that You're in me I'm never alone. LORD, Thanks for forgiving me When I'm untrue, And last, but not least, Father, Thank You for You! -- Connie +*+*+*+*+*+*+ -- Psalms 138:1-8 1 I give You Thanks, O LORD, with all my heart; I will sing Your praises before the gods. 2 I bow before Your holy Temple as I worship. I will give Thanks to Your Name for Your unfailing Love and Faithfulness, because Your Promises are backed by all the honor of Your Name. 3 When I pray, You answer me; You encourage me by giving me the strength I need. 4 Every king in all the earth will give You Thanks, O LORD, for all of them will hear Your Words. 5 Yes, they will sing about the LORD’s ways, for the glory of the LORD is very great. 6 Though the LORD is great, He cares for the humble, but He keeps His distance from the proud. 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve my life; You stretch out Your hand against the anger of my foes, with Your right hand You save me. Your power will save me. 8 The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me; Your love, O LORD, endures forever -- Do not abandon the works of Your hands. When a Christian finds himself in a difficult situation, he should immediately give thanks to the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, by the power of the Spirit, to keep his heart from complaining and fretting. The devil moves in when a Christian starts to complain, but thanksgiving in the Spirit defeats the devil and glorifies the Lord. ~ Warren Wiersbe
Thanksgiving Day Prayer However do I Thank YOU, LORD For all You've given me. Firstly, for this country that I live in Which allows me to be Free. And gives me the right to worship YOU, However, I think best! And to follow any pathway I may choose However, ill conceived, or circuitous! I may choose it and then forsake it, My right to do so, nonetheless. And if I stumble in my choices, However many they may be. I may rise and turn around again, Change my mind and my direction then And with them my destiny. Yes, LORD how do I Thank You For all You have given me? My Hope, my Belief, my Dreams, my Faith Which inspires and enables me To make a difference in this world. And all because of YOU! What You have given and have done, Your Life, Your Crucifixion And then Your Resurrection too! Oh! LORD Thank YOU, Thank You for this life, You have granted me And at its conclusion, My salvation yet to be. My God, my LORD, I Thank You for Every blessed day, Even those, which tried my soul For they brought me closer to YOU, And they taught me to depend on YOU. And then to be ever grateful too For the sunshine that would follow rain, The light that followed dark and pain And the rainbow that is called my life. Yes, My LORD I Thank You for This blessed gift, my immortal soul, And yet, my very mortal life. But, most of all and on this day LORD, I bow my head in Prayer and Pray: "Oh! My LORD, please accept My heartfelt Thanks For all these many blessings And then most especially, For these beloved friends and family Who have gathered here with me." -- Unknown +*+*+*+*+*+*+ -- Psalms 100 1 A psalm. For Giving Thanks. Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. 2 Worship the LORD with gladness; Come before Him with joyful songs. 3 Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; We are His people, the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter His gates with Thanksgiving and His courts with Praise; Give Thanks to Him and Praise His Name. 5 For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations. Without Thy sunshine and Thy rain We could not have the golden grain; Without Thy love we'd not be fed; We thank Thee for our daily bread. -- Anonymous
Give Thanks to GOD Thank GOD for the gift of life, For letting me be me, For all that I can know by words And all that I can see, For all the music I can hear And all the songs I sing, For all the joy that comes to me And all the joy I bring, For all the food that I can taste And all the sweet scents smell, For all the loved ones I can touch, Who love and wish me well, For all the beauty of the world, Ever fresh and new, I don't know whom else I can Thank, And so I'm Thanking You. -- Unknown +*+*+*+*+*+*+ -- 1 Timothy 2:1-6 1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and Thanksgiving be made for everyone -- 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, ++ 4 Who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is One God and One mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 He gave His life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that God gave to the world at the proper time.
