Prayers of Thanksgiving

 


Psalm 100 

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth!
Everyone, everywhere should be filled with the JOY that comes from the LORD alone.

Worship the LORD with gladness
come before Him with joyful songs.
The secret to happiness?  It's in worshiping God.  When He comes first, everything else falls into place.

Know that the LORD is God
It is He who made us and we are His;
we are the sheep of His pasture.
When I stop trying to be in control of my life and I recognize that He IS my good shepherd (the Sovereign One), then I can rest and be at peace in His pasture.  

Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise;
Give thanks to Him and praise His name. 
The way to come to God is with a boundless list of gratitude, recognizing all that He is for us.  His name is great - He is called Emmanuel (God with us), El Roi (The God who sees us), Jehovah Jireh (our provider), the Alpha and Omega, the Prince of peace and the King of kings.

For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; 
His faithfulness continues through all generations.
We are unfaithful people, we are like sheep who lose their way, but He promises to keep his covenant with us, to be faithful even when we are faithless.  He will always be there for us and He will not stop loving us (nothing can separate us from the love of God!)

Amen and amen.  So many things to be thankful for this season but mostly for Our God, Our Savior, Our Hope, Light and Life!

31 Holy Spirit

The Christian life isn’t difficult, it’s impossible—without the power of the Holy Spirit. – Bill Bright – W orship the God in 3 persons: Father, Son and Spirit I praise You Father for sending us the Spirit, our Advocate, who came into the world to teach us and live with us. John 14: 25-27 “All this I have spoken while still with you.   But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.   Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. A ppropriate the truth of scripture as you grow in your walk of faith Lord, Your Spirit is here to show that it is only through believing in Christ that we can be saved. May I, being a Spirit-filled believer, share this message with those around me. Your Spirit is also given so that we might see that only in Jesus i...

30 - Man of Sorrows

Man of sorrows what a name for the Son of God, who came ruined sinners to reclaim: Hallelujah, what a Savior! P. P. Bliss The Lord is near the broken hearted. Oh what a comfort these words are when pain runs deep and sorrow fills our souls. The weight of the pain in the world is heavy these days and many of us carry much deeper more personal sorrows as well. When tragedy hits, we cannot rewind the tape, we cannot "fix" what went wrong, and we cannot claim to erase sorrows for friends and family. Jesus can heal a broken heart and He can truly be an empathetic friend, a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. He Himself experienced the depth of sorrow caused by the hands of evil men, the pain of betrayal, physical agony we can't imagine, the loss of friends, the slander of His name. He knows our pain. He can walk beside us in these sorrowful days and He will never leave us. W orship Jesus, the man of sorrows Lord, when I am feeling beaten down, depressed, or suffer...

29- Immutable God

When did He break His promise? When did His kindness fail? Never has, never will My God is still the same When did He lose His power? When did His mercy change? Never has, never will My God is still the same, yeah My God is still the same - Josh Bronleewe / Chris Rohman / Dustin Lolli In a post-modern world, philosophers and theologians attempt to define God in new ways based upon the belief that man has achieved a higher state of being in the 21st century. But God has always been the same, since the beginning of time, throughout Israel's history, in the middle ages of Europe, and today in the bustling tech-dependent world of 2025. Sometimes we read the Old Testament and compare the "God of the Old Testament" to how we understand Jesus in the New testament and we wonder if they are the same God? The attributes of God were present in the flood Noah's days, the calling of Abraham, the rescue of God's people from Egypt, the exile of Israel into captivity, and in J...
