“Enter into God’s gates with thanksgiving, and into God’s courts with praise: be thankful unto God and bless God’s name. For the LORD is good; God’s mercy is everlasting; and God’s truth endureth to all generations.”
Psalm 107:1

I’d like to share with you an interpretation of The Lord’s Prayer which was written by author James C. Lewis:

“Our Father, who dwells with us, all-powerful is Thy nature. Thy perfection come, Thy good be done, in manifestation as it is in Spirit. Give us this day Divine ideas, and forgive our mistakes, as we forgive the mistakes of others; and lead us not in doubt, but deliver us from ignorance, for Thine is the perfection, the power, and the joy, eternally. Amen.”

As children in Christianity, many learn to sing a song in Sunday School that includes the words:

Count your blessings,
Name them one by one;
Count your many blessings,
See what God has done.

We are here in this prayer place to awaken our spirituality with Thanksgiving. We are here to be grateful for all the lovely things we recall. We are here to prepare our minds and our hearts for a brand-new day ahead. We are here to review the blessings and to be assured of the calm, lasting Presence of our God.

We pause and say thank you, God, for all the blessings that are nourishing and strengthening our soul.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

The spirit of praise and thanksgiving is something we now make a vital, indispensable part of our everyday life. We have a perceptive heart that sees that God bestows upon us much better than we need for our existence.

The mere need for shelter is enriched by warmth and comfort. Food to sustain the body often delights and is served with imagination to please the eye. It is frequently enhanced by interesting conversation and good fellowship. The light and the air and the water necessary to life are set before us in a brilliant sunset over the sea in a masterpiece of Divine Creation. The wind sings a song on a summer night. The rain quenches the earth’s thirst and nourishes beautiful crops and fragrant flowers.

We give thanks for the extras in life, the beauty and that which induces wonder inside of us. We look at our needs and see how simple they are compared to God’s blessings. We take time to go over every blessing and appreciate all the good things God has done for us. We discover that there is far too much beauty and goodness in life to simply fulfill daily purposes. We realize that there is a lavish hand of God that spreads God’s gifts over all the world into every life, touching with grace and generosity every receptive soul.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

Thank You, God. We are aware of the love, the goodness and the benefits from You. We are filled with an uplifting and an overwhelming sense of gratitude as words and feelings merge into a warm flow of gladness and exhilaration. We discover that thankfulness lifts out of depression, out of doubt, elevates our own individual soul to a height of spiritual joy and security. Our life expands as we look for and give thanks for appreciations of God. Praise and thanksgiving make us more aware of the good about us. Our thoughts and prayers reach out to include others.

We count our blessings. We learn that God comes to us in every experience and in every person if we are open to God’s Presence. We find in the accumulation of little joys, of small blessings heaped upon other small blessings, that life adds up to a deep and priceless adventure.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

We each know the Truth of God. THE LOVING PRESENCE OF GOD PROVIDES FOR MY EVERY NEED. I AM THANKFUL FOR WHAT I HAVE AND FOR WHAT I AM ABOUT TO RECEIVE.

In this spirit of thankfulness, we pray, with a very grateful heart.

In a spirit of thanksgiving and overwhelming gratitude, we say silently, thank You, God.

In Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.
