Prayer of Thanksgiving
Lord God, hear our prayers - our prayers that rise together in thanksgiving.
We thank You first, for life, remembering it is not ours to keep, but is a gift we hold in trust and share.
Thank You for each new day, for the Sun that sets aside the darkness, for air to breath, and water that quenches thirst.
We remember, gratefully, the horn of plenty, filled with the ripe abundance of the harvest - and we pray for people of the world who still know hunger.
Thank You for families, for love that keeps them close; for friends at hand and those we cannot see.
Teach us, at last, to know all men are brothers, then help us learn to live together in peace.
Amen.
