A Scripture and a Prayer: “Praise of Thanksgiving”

“I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify Him with thanksgiving.” (Psalm 69:30)

Prayer:

Lord, there is so much to be thankful for, even amid the presence of evil and wrong in this world. Help us, Lord, to stop focusing on the world and instead turn our thoughts and hearts toward You and Your blessings of salvation and the forgiveness of sins You offer. Help each of us to recognize all the blessings You have given, both small and great, especially the gift of salvation through the death of Your Son, Jesus Christ. AMEN
