A Prayer of Thanksgiving
O Lord, our God, how excellent is your name in all the earth! Some of us have to thank you for many mercies bestowed. We thank you for them, for we feel that we are entirely in your hands in all respects.
Others of us have been brought very low, bruised full sore, but having a little strength remaining, we desire to praise and bless the giver of every gift.
You are good when you give, and
You are good when you take away.
You are good when the night gathers heavy about us.
You are good when the sun shines and gladdens our pathway.
You are always good and do good, and blessed be the name of the Lord from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof, and through the night watches let his praise be still celebrated.
Amen.
