A Prayer for Your Thanksgiving Table

November 21, 2018

We pray that you and your loved ones have a very blessed Thanksgiving!

Here is a blessing prayer that might be used for the Thanksgiving table:

God of the Pilgrims and new migrants
Creator of us all and giver of all gifts

God of anyone struck silent by a sunset
or pulled up short by a child’s love

We pause in this moment to remember
the many blessings of this year.

When we peek inside the constant gift,
where else can we go but Thanksgiving?

So, we give you thanks this day
and ask your blessing on our meal
in Jesus’ name, we pray.

Amen.
