In Everything Give Thanks

A evening prayer for Thanksgiving Day (the fourth Thursday in November in the United States). In the app it replaces the day’s readings automatically.

Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

God’s Word

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Today’s takeaway: God's will is that you give thanks in every situation, not only the easy ones.

Before you pray

What are three things you are thankful for tonight?

Prayer

Father, Your will for me is to give thanks in everything, not just the good things. Today I gave thanks for a lot. I also give thanks for the hard things this year, because You were in them. Let gratitude be the last thing on my lips tonight. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Pray as Jesus taught us

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Amen.

Blessing

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
