Heavenly Father,
from whom come all good and perfect gifts,
from whom come mercies new each day,
from whom come blessings beyond measure:
Accept our thanksgiving
for protection and those who provide it
for daily bread and those who prepare it
for clothing and those who manufacture it
for family and those dear to us
for friends and those associated with us
for jobs and those working with us
for social security and support programs
We confess that we think too little
about the fact that we deserve nothing
about the many who serve us
about the blessings of Your Spirit
We pray You
forgive our ingratitude
open our eyes to behold Your goodness
fill our hearts with thankfulness
make us respond in appreciation
help us to serve in love
We thank You, through Christ, our Lord,
Your best gift to us. Amen.
