Thanksgiving

I will give thanks to the Lord because of His righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High!

Scripture Reading

To the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song.

1 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth give way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD,
how he has brought desolations on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the chariots with fire.
10 “Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
11 The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

– Psalm 46

Prayer of Intercession

O Lord, direct our steps this day into the way of peace, and strengthen our hearts to obey Your commandments. May the Dayspring visit us from on high, and give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, that they may adore You for Your mercy, follow You for Your truth, desire You for Your sweetness, for You are the blessed God of Israel, now and forever. (An ancient Collect, A.D. 440)

Gracious and loving God, thank You for this day and all our blessings!  Help us, Lord, to realize that we can pray at any time and that our prayers do not have to be fancy – but sincere talking and listening with You. Father, there are many ill, hurting, and grieving people in our church, in our neighborhoods, and in the world. Lead us, we ask, to remember them in our prayers and guide us to know how and when and where we might help.

We pray in the mighty name of Jesus.

As The Spirit Leads

Please continue in prayer for any personal, church, community, nation, or world needs, concerns, or thanksgivings.

Lord’s Prayer

Let us close by praying the words that Jesus taught.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come; Your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Refer: Matthew 6:9–13

Thank you for joining us in prayer. We hope you join us tomorrow.

The LORD bless you and keep you.
The LORD make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
—Numbers 6:24–26
