Heavenly Father, in this season of Thanksgiving, we bow our hearts to You and pray. We give You thanks for all You've done, especially for the gift of salvation You have given to us through Jesus, Your Son. We give thanks for beauty in Your creation, for joy and health, friends, and family. We thank You for daily provision, for Your mercy and care, and all the blessings You graciously share. Above all, we praise You for the gift of the Spirit who empowers us to follow You all of

our days. To You alone be all glory, honor, and praise! In Jesus’ name. Amen
