The Key To Thanksgiving
Psalm 23:5 (NLT)
My cup overflows with blessings.
My cup overflows with blessings.
Colossians 2:6-7 (NLT)
6 And now, just as
you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be
built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught,
and you will overflow with thankfulness
Father
at this wonderful season of the year, “Thanksgiving,” we have so much to be
thankful for and the greatest of all is our relationship with you. Little wonder that our cup overflows, not only
with your blessings, but especially with your presence. As the Psalmist says: “You
will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the
pleasures of living with you forever. Psalm 16:11 (NLT)
So
Father, thank you for all the blessings we remember and celebrate this time of
the year. So many joys you give us in life and especially the joy of your
presence which is our strength and hope.
With
deepest gratitude through Jesus our Lord and Savior. Amen!

Father,
Our world is upside down from the effects of sin. You alone are the solution ... our Savior. This I know, and Your instructions are clear as we live each day surrounded by the storm that swirls around us.
Don't worry about anything.
Pray about everything.
Make your requests known to God.
Give thanks for all You've already done.
THEN we will have peace so great it's beyond understanding.
That peace will guard our hearts AND minds, as we live in Christ Jesus.
"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12 (NIV)

Thankful for You
I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world. (Romans 1:8)
So often we all take the ones closest to us for granted. I know that pain has often caused me to neglect the giving of thanks for those who regularly bless me. In this simple verse Paul tells us to not neglect the giving of thanks for the faithful.
Father, I am sorry thank I am so often preoccupied with myself and do not say thanks for those you have placed in my life. Thank you for them and the many others in the world who are faithful to You - even when life is so difficult for them.
Amen

Do we want victory?
We will never have victory in our lives if we don’t pray. We must cultivate purposeful, intentional and powerful prayer lives if we desire to be properly armed in our fight against the enemy. We will only defeat him and push back the kingdom of darkness on our knees or on our faces.
It is time to fight. It is time to be purposed. It is time to be victorious.
“But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.” (2 Thessalonians 3:3)

Songs of Thanksgiving
Psalm 28:7 (NLT)
The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.
The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.
Father,
as we move toward Thanksgiving Day Celebration, remembering all the blessings
you have given us through this year, we do so with songs of thanksgiving ready
to burst out of our hearts.
As
the Psalmist sang: “Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I
never forget the good things he does for me. 3 He forgives all my
sins and heals all my diseases. 4 He redeems me from death and
crowns me with love and tender mercies. 5 He fills my life with good
things…..” Psalm 103:2-5 (NLT)
Father
we can surely say: “My cup overflows.”
Thank you for your presence and provision. The Doxology we often sing expresses
our gratitude so well:
Praise God,
from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

entering heaven's gates
Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting And His faithfulness to all generations. (Psalms 100:4-5)
The theme of thanksgiving and praise is one that permeates all of scripture. It is a way to pray that directs our focus heavenward. The Lord's prayer is a great example of how we should begin our prayers with praise. When we thank and praise the Lord it sets our heart in a good place.. a place of hope and expectation. We open heaven's gates when we praise Him. Please join me in praying these words.
We hallow your name Father and remember that you are worthy of all praise and honor. In unison we say that You are good. You are compassionate. You care for us with a deep love. We confess our love, adoration and worship of You. We offer our lives to you afresh and ask for Your kingdom to come and Your will to be done in our lives.
Amen

HOPE
Acts 20:35 (NLT)
And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Father
what a privilege we have in helping others and to encourage them with hope
because their needs are being met. We can only do this because of your grace,
and the resources you provide. As the Apostle Paul said: “…..God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have
everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.” 2 Corinthians 9:8 (NLT)
Father
may we ever be sensitive and compassionate to those in need. May we do our best
to be gracious and generous in praying for them and reaching out to them in
their time of need. We know this will give them hope and we also know: “This is good and pleases God our Savior….” 1 Timothy 2:3 (NLT)
2 Corinthians 9:15 (ESV)
Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!

Father, thank You for Your church. Thank You for those who work and serve in our churches. Be with our church leaders. Grant them the wisdom and courage to not only set but also uphold high standards, and to allocate resources to care for the least and the lost. May our churches be a beacon to draw more people to You.
We pray for those who lead us and ask that You give them wisdom for their day today, that they have understanding of the times and know how to lead. We ask that you protect them from any strategy planned against them and for strength to match their days. We give thanks that You are meeting all their needs and for provision to fulfill Your vision. We pray that they are growing each day in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; that through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, they carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to them.” In Jesus' name, Amen

No Worries
Philippians 4:6 (NLT)
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Jesus said:
Matthew 6:25-34 (NLT)
25 “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday
life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t
life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at
the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your
heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they
are? 27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? 28
“And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and
how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, 29 yet Solomon
in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 30 And
if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into
the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little
faith?
31 “So
don’t worry about these things,
saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the
thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.
33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and
he will give you everything you need.
34 “So
don’t worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
Philippians 4:19 (NLT)
And this same God who
takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which
have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
Father,
what can we say about such a gracious promise and glorious provision? With
deepest gratitude and humility we praise you for loving us so much and expressing
it in so may ways.
Amen.
