During this week of Thanksgiving, we pause to express our deepest gratitude to You for being our God. How thankful we are that You never change, that You are the God of grace and glory, and no good thing do You withhold from those who walk uprightly before You. Father, without You, our lives would be in complete disarray and chaos. Without You, we would have no purpose. Without You, we would have no direction and no hope. Father, we thank You for being our immortal, invisible, God always wise. Blessed is Your holy and awesome Name.
Lord, this week we also remember our troops who are away from home during these important holidays. We ask You to grant them Your peace and Your comfort. And we pray for their families---that they would be comforted and helped by those whom You send to assist them. Thank You for the wonderful young men and women who are serving this nation. Protect them each and every day, Lord, and bring them home in safety and in good health.
Father, we are grateful for our country as well as the country of Israel. Guard her walls and borders, Lord, and help her people to be led to You by those who are sharing the Gospel with them.
Lord, we enter into Your gates with thanksgiving and into Your courts with praise. We are thankful unto You, and we bless Your Name. For Lord, You are good. Your mercy is everlasting, and Your truth endures unto all generations. We pray this in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
Please join us in prayer.

When I teach English composition, I require students to write in class. I know that in-class writing is their own work, so in this way I become familiar with each student’s writing voice and am able to detect if they “borrow” a bit too heavily from another writer. Students are surprised to learn that their writing voice—which includes what they say as well as how they say it—is as distinctive as their speaking voice. Just as the words we speak come from our hearts, so do the words we write. They reveal who we are.
We become familiar with God’s voice in much the same way. By reading what He has written, we learn who He is and how He expresses Himself. Satan, however, tries to make himself sound like God (2 Cor. 11:14). By using God’s words in a slightly altered fashion, he comes up with convincing arguments for things that are untrue. For example, by convincing people to do things that simulate godliness, such as trusting in an outward regimen of self-discipline rather than Christ’s death for salvation (Col. 2:23), Satan has led many astray.
God went to extremes to make sure we’d recognize His voice. He not only gave us His Word, He gave us the Word made flesh—Jesus (John 1:14)—so that we will not be easily deceived or misled.
Amen.
Amen.
May God bless and have mercy on the United States of America and deliver her from evil.
Amen, Faith

May He keep and protect this great nation and those who have fought - and continue to fight - for our freedoms. May they know they belong to a family that loves them and is thankful, on Thanksgiving and always, for their sacrifices.
Lord, hear our prayers. Comfort and protect our brothers and sisters serving our country.
Amen.
