Thanksgiving Prayers

Every day is rightly a day of thanksgiving.  Every day we should count our blessings and give thanks to our Lord who blesses us, undeserving though we are.But today as we celebrate Thanksgiving, as we join our friends and family, find a quiet moment or give thanks together, to God who is the giver of every good and perfect gift.Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving!  xoxo  PRAYER ONEJesus Christ, my Lord and God, I give thanks for your loving kindness and all the blessings You have richly bestowed upon me.I fall down in worship and adoration before You, the King of Glory.I praise You, I glorify You, I bless You and I give thanks to You for Your great goodness and tender mercy.  To You I come, my sweet Lord and loving Master.Shine in my heart the light of Your grace.  Enlighten my mind, that I may walk uprightly all my life by keeping Your commandments.Glorified and exalted is Your holy name, now and forever.  Amen.PRAYER TWOO Lord my Savior and my Master, I, Thine unprofitable servant, with fear and trembling give thanks unto Thy loving goodness for all Thy benefits which Thou hast poured so abundantly upon me, Thy servant.
