Thanksgiving Day Prayer

Father, we thank you for this day and all the blessings both material and spiritual that you have conferred on us and on this great land.

We thank you for the liberties you have bestowed upon us and the opportunities given to us that we may grow in the grace and knowledge of our saviour, Christ the Lord.

We also want to remember the men and women serving in harms way in both Afghanistan and Iraq that you may continue to give us the upper hand over our enemies and allow us to seek out the conspiracies made against us in foreign lands and give us the courage to overcome them.

We also pray Father, that the gospel of Christ may continue to be preached throughout the Middle East wherever our troops may be ensconced so that the people may repent of their sins and you would heal their land.

Finally, Father, we pray for the President of the United States that you may continue to guide him in leading this most powerful nation on this earth by your Divine Providence and give him the courage to make the proper decisions as Commander and Chief.

We pray Father that the Holy Spirit may challenge us in these matters and strengthen our resolve in these last days.

In the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, we pray - Amen.
