Greetings -
Happy Thanksgiving to all
Scriptures from the King James Bible:
Ephesians 5:20
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Isaiah 45:21
Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
The Acts 17:28
For in him we live, and move, and have our being;...
Thanksgiving prayer:
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, LORD
Father, we thank You in the name of JESUS, that every day is Thanksgiving. We owe You our lives as it is Your air, Lord, that we breathe. Thank You for Your love, grace, mercy and for Your forgiveness. We need You, Lord, for it is in You that we live, and move, and have our being. As we celebrate this holiday, please help us to forge ahead to live holy and to love You every day more than the day that we did before. Lead us to remain, please, rooted and grounded in You, speaking the truth in love with faith that works by love - for truly - without love - we are nothing.
Forgive us for depending on anyone or anything besides You. Your Word says that there is no God beside You and no God with You -
none but You are GOD. You are our only SOURCE - all else is a resource that is provided by You, our SOURCE.
Help us, please Lord, to be unselfish and to give more of our hearts with sacrificial actions, and help us to bear one another's burdens as Your Word commands in Galatians 6:2. Let us perform our assignments as appointed by You and guide us to remain connected to You - for only then can we remain anointed. You are the only source of anointing. If we disconnect from the true VINE, we are dead in spirit and thereby unprofitable for full gospel demonstrations that are so vital for people to be pulled out of the fire of the most evil one - Satan.
We are deeply grateful, Lord, that You have given us power over all the power of the enemy for we are well able to overcome because those who walk uprightly before You - are indeed - more than conquerers.
Thank You, Lord - Amen
EVERY DAY IS THANKSGIVING

Talk to you soon.

Amen! Thank you for the Thanksgiving prayer. I agree that every day is a day of Thanksgiving to the Lord for what He has done, and what He is doing, and what He will do... Not only that but a day of Thanksgiving for who He is. I praise and thank the Lord because he is the God of creation, Holy, and Righteous over all.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra,

Every day that we breathe, we thank Him and thanksgiving floods our hearts. Aren't we blessed to know Him and have His provision. Even thanksgiving comes from Him. I loved your prayer, my sister, and wish you peace and joy as we enter the holiday season!
