The Prayer Within
by Dr. T. Wilkins
Oh, God, We bow our heads to Thee in thanks for all this glittering wealth;
These clothes, our food, our jewels, to all our children health;
These palace walls that keep us warm, this costly furniture,
That fill our hearts with pride and weal, and makes us feel secure;
Thou hast blessed us all with stomachs full and purses as replete;
Hast given us from stores of earth, in heaven a promised seat;
Hast given us that others earned because we every day
Leaned hard on Thee in all our work and ne'er forgot to pray;
For all these things we thank Thee, God, and ask Thee once again
To love and bless us chosen ones, for Jesus' sake — Amen. - Father
Our thanks for being able to share this Thanksgiving
with the people gathered around this table.
We thank you for this food and ask for a blessing
on those who prepared it.
We thank you for our family and friends.
We thank you for our homes
We thank you for the peace we enjoy and
We pray for those in war-torn countries,
We pray for those who don't have enough food
We pray for the homeless.
Father, please help those in need.
And may our eyes always see the good we can do
in Your name to help others.
Thank you Father for your love and
For Jesus who suffered for our sins.
We pray to you in the name of Jesus.
Amen -
Our Father in Heaven,
help us to see all of our blessings,
those that are obvious and those that are not.
Help us to be thankful for all of our blessings,
those that are good, and those that don't seem good.
Help us to someday look back at our lives and
make sense of the times we didn't understand
so we can feel even more thankful and close to you Lord.
Amen -

Heavenly Father,
You are so good to us.
Teach us to follow in your footsteps.
Teach us to be kind and generous.
Teach us to love unconditionally.
Teach us whatever it is that You feel we need to learn.
Thank You for your continuous love.
Amen -
My Lord,
you have taken great care of me in the past
and I have no doubt you will continue to do so in the future.
May you help to guide me in your way and teach me all the things
I need to know in order to follow you faithfully.
I give you thanks for your goodness and mercy.
Amen -
God Almighty,
I ask for your forgiveness in order for me to move on in my faith.
I pray you will guide me and show me the path of righteousness.
Please help me to be the best me I can be so I may become
even a fraction of the good you are.
Amen
