Precious Lord, we bless You with all that is within us and we do not forget the benefits we have in You. We enter into Your gates with thanksgiving in our hearts, and we come into Your courts with praise. For we are thankful unto You, Father, and we bless Your Holy and Awesome Name. You are good, Lord God, and Your mercy endures forever. May Your Name be praised and honored both now and evermore.
Lord, even with all the shortcomings of our nation and the divisive and destructive events of the past several years, yet we remain a very blessed people. We thank You, Father, as we come together with family and friends across America this week to remember all the blessings that You shower upon us. Help us to keep the spirit of thankfulness every day of every year, Lord, for a grateful heart is pleasing to You.
Thank You for guiding and directing our President this past week and for bringing him home safely from his Asian tour. May Your angels continue to surround him. We confess that he is growing in grace and in knowledge of You, Lord. We pray for rest for him and for his family, that they may be renewed and refreshed. Help him and Vice-President Pence to continue to stand strong for this nation.
Father, we are thankful for our wonderful military men and women. Though many will be away from their families during the coming holidays, we pray that they will know and receive the thankfulness of a grateful nation toward them. Comfort them during their times of loneliness, and please send people to give aid to their family members until their loved ones return home.
We pray for peace in Israel, Lord, and for the love and prayers of Americans to bless them. Father, shield all the persecuted Church as the times grow more dangerous for Christians everywhere. We confess that You take care all those who put their trust in You.
Father, let our meditations of You be sweet as we think about all that You have done through Your Son, our Savior. Let us be glad in You Lord, for we know that You have won the victory for us. In the Name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord ." (Psalms 122:1)
Amen!!
Psalm 50
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 The mighty one, God the Lord,
speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God shines forth.
3 Our God comes and does not keep silence,
before him is a devouring fire,
and a mighty tempest all around him.
4 He calls to the heavens above
and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5 ‘Gather to me my faithful ones,
who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!’
6 The heavens declare his righteousness,
for God himself is judge.
Selah
7 ‘Hear, O my people, and I will speak,
O Israel, I will testify against you.
I am God, your God.
8 Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you;
your burnt-offerings are continually before me.
9 I will not accept a bull from your house,
or goats from your folds.
10 For every wild animal of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know all the birds of the air,*
and all that moves in the field is mine.
12 ‘If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for the world and all that is in it is mine.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls,
or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,*
and pay your vows to the Most High.
15 Call on me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.’
16 But to the wicked God says:
‘What right have you to recite my statutes,
or take my covenant on your lips?
17 For you hate discipline,
and you cast my words behind you.
18 You make friends with a thief when you see one,
and you keep company with adulterers.
19 ‘You give your mouth free rein for evil,
and your tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your kin;
you slander your own mother’s child.
21 These things you have done and I have been silent;
you thought that I was one just like yourself.
But now I rebuke you, and lay the charge before you.
22 ‘Mark this, then, you who forget God,
or I will tear you apart, and there will be no one to deliver.
23 Those who bring thanksgiving as their sacrifice honour me;
to those who go the right way*
I will show the salvation of God.’
Amen.
Amen. Yes, Sir, we are grateful to You for this Nation. We are privileged to be praying for a Nation with firm roots in You. We are praying for a burning away of the chaff so that what You planted can bear much fruit for Your glory.
Especially today we thank You for our Constitution. We ask You for judges who will uphold it. Support them with Your favor. May they win over their enemies with Your wisdom. Strengthen, encourage and multiply them.
We love and honor You. Help us to be Marys as we show hospitality to our friends and family this week and not Marthas, seeking first Your Kingdom without resentfulness.
Joining you in prayer, Dear Faith, in Jesus Holy Name, Amen.
Amen.
Amen to this and all your lovely prayer, Faith!
Amen!
Amen! Thanks be to God!
Thank you, DV.
Amen to your prayer, Hiskid. Thanks for the reminder to be a “Mary.”
