As an assignment for theology class, we had to create our very own thanksgiving prayer. We tend to forget the reason why we were placed on this earth. We tend to forget how the word "thank you" can make a difference. At the end of this prayer feel free to comment what you are most thankful for. Enjoy:]
Dear Heavenly Father,
Creator of Heaven and Earth, with much more than just a humble heart, here I am thanking you for everything you have given me. First I want to thank you for every dawn and dusk you let me see, the sounds and sceneries of nature. Thank you Father for the gift of life.
Father, thank you for all the graces and blessings you have showered upon me. Thank you for a wonderful family whom I respect, love and cherish. I make a plea to you to guide my family down the path or righteousness.
Thank you Father for the amazing friends you have placed in my life. Bless their hearts and souls; aid them and also myself to remain in harmony and tranquility. You have situated two important people in my life, my mother and father, which appreciate and understand me. Once more, thank you.
Father, I thank you for the food I receive, the bed I rest, and the air I breathe daily. Thank you Heavenly Father for the opportunities that have been open to me. I’d like to ask, if not much, to bless everyone around me whether they deserve it or not for they are all human beings made by your hands. Thank you Father, for every wonderful thing you have given me in life and for your Son, Jesus Christ, who gave us the chance to live for eternity in heaven. This I ask in the Name of Jesus, Your Son and our Brother. Amen.
