The Request To Conceive! 

We Give Thanks For The Pleasures

The Treasures

The Good Days

The Days Great 

But

To Give Thanks For The Challenges

The Tests

The Trials That By The Worldly-Wise 

We Are Told That We Should Hate!

Dear Lord, 

We Humbly Thank You For The Difficulties We Face 

Which We Know Are For The Perfecting Of

Our Christian Character 

Which Will Have Us Ready To Meet You

In Perfect Peace! 

We Are Thankful Always

For Food, Family, And Friendship

And

Even The Few Foes

Who Drive Us To The Throne Of Grace

Into The Hands Of Him Who

Our Every Need Knows!

And 

Give Praise And Thanks 

For The Gifts Of Perfect Love That 

We Constantly Receive

And 

To Be Grateful For Heavenly Grace 

From The God Who Sacrificially Loves Us 

Even Though We Often Live Lives 

Which Merit Us Being Among 

The Cast-Out Disgraced! 

Beloved, 

No Matter How Perceived-Small The Gift

No Matter How Allegedly-Late Its Receipt

No Matter That The Gift Received 

Is Not 

The Gift That Your Carnal Heart Desired

Let Us Ever Remember That 

All Good And Perfect Gifts Are From The Holy Hand Of 

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Our Maker And Savior

Redeemer And Forever Friend

To Draw Closer To Our Creator

Our Friends And Family

Let Our Foes Help Us To Lean Thankfully 

On The Love That Will Never Let Us Go! 

Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart

Decide This Day That From Righteous Living 

Never, Ever, To Depart! 

PRAYER:

Thank You, Father

For Your Myriad Blessings

On Us Children!

Thank You For Giving Unto Us

Our Beloved Savior

Your Only Begotten Son

Jesus Christ The Lord!

Father,

Please Forgive Us

For The Many Times That

We Act As Those Ungrateful

And

Use Language That Is

Utterly Thankless

And

Truly Tasteless!

We Thank You, Dear Father

For The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit

The Protection Of The Holy Angels

Our Spared Lives

The Roofs Still Over Our Heads

And

The Sumptuous And Daily Food

Liberally Provided For Our Tables!

Though We Do Not Desire

To Feel Pressured

Or Experience Problems

Or To Be Ill

Or Financially Embarrassed

Lord,

Even For These Few Trials

We Give You Grateful Thanks

And

Heartfelt, Unfeigned, Praise

Because

These Workmen Cause Us To Hasten

To Your Throne Of Grace

Where We Will Find

Unmerited Favor

From Your Holy Hand

To Help Us In Our Time Of Need!

Oh, Love, That Will Not Let Us Go

We Are Grateful And Thankful That

You Are The Holy God Known Faithful

And

We Ask You, Please

To Help Us To Rest Our Weary Souls

Our Daily Dying Bodies

Our Unbearable Burdens

Our Terrible Tests And Trial

Upon Your Strong, Loving, Unfailing, Arms!

Please Help Us

Even As We Pray

To Not Just Share Burdens And Trials

But

To Share Our Joys

And

To Rest And Abide In Your Love

To Be Refreshed

For The Sure Battles Ahead!

Thank You, Lord

For The Unspeakable Gifts

Most Of Which

We Don't Even Know That 

We Have Received:

We Bow In Worshipful Adoration!

Please, Dear Lord

Help Us To Draw Closer To You

To Live For You

And

If We Are So Called

To Die For You:

You Have Promised

To Raise Up Your Faithful Children

In The Glad Day Of Reunion!

We Trust You At Your Holy Word!

Please Take Our Hands

Please Hold Our Hearts

Please Bless Our Lives

And

Please Give Unto Us

Time And Time Again

More Reasons

To Give You Our Willing Praise

And

Grateful Thanks

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We Humbly Pray And Plead! 

We Love You!

AMEN. 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING + The Shopping List ... Prayer

"Thank You, Father, Bless You!" 

To The Eternal God 

Who Daily ... Moment By Moment

Showers Us With His Abundantly Good

And 

Grace-Filled Blessings! 

Since We All Know That We Can Do Better

Energetically Practice Having 
The Grateful-For-Grace Heart

His Rightful Due:

Brethren, Beloved

I Am Thankful For You! 

Blessings Be Upon All You Today

And 

Forever! 
Peace Be Upon You!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Bless You

And

I Thank You

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

Dear Lord,

I Come Humbly And With Hope Of Success

Because I Believe That You Are Able

And

Because You Say To Come Boldly:

I Come With Godly Fear!

I Have A Shopping List Of Things, Father

That I Desire From You

And

Chief Atop My List, Oh, Lord

Is For You To Help Me

To Remain To And For You

Humble, Obedient, Working,

Watching, Waiting

Enduring, Persevering

Faithful, Holy And True!

Next, I Desire To Be Blessed To Be A Blessing 

To Bless My Brethren

In The Name Of My Lord

To Tell Them The Good News

And

Plead For Your Holy Spirit

To Convict And Convince Them

So That Your Call To Salvation

They Will Not Refuse

Because

They Recognize That

With Jesus Christ As Captain, Lord, And God 

They Have Absolutely Nothing Valuable

On This Dying Earth To Lose!

I Pray For Courage For The Watchmen

Stationed On Zion's Walls

And

I Beseech You, Dear Father

To Help Them To Remain Faithful

And

To Not Sell Out Jesus Christ

For Filthy Lucre's Sake

To That Wily, Wicked, Lying, Murdering Satan

The Known And Damned God-Fraud!

Next, Lord

I Pray For The Little Children

Whose Angels Always Behold Your Glorious Face

And

I Ask You To Protect Them From The Predators

Who Are Convincing Them That

How You Have Caused Them To Be Born 

Is Something Nothing Short Of A Disgrace 

That Must Needs Be Changed

Before They Can In This World 

Take Their Rightful Place!

Father, 

I Am Pleading For Your Help

Against The Rampaging Spirit Of Discontent

That Is Pervading The World And The Church

The Young And The Old

Those With Copper And Those With Gold

And

All Who Have Power

And

Have World Domination As Their One Goal!

How I Pray That They Will All See

That They Have Need

For Our Savior

Jesus Christ The King

And

Soon Returning Lord!

I Pray For The Mommies

The Hands That Rock The Cradles

The Mommies Who Must Be Daddies

Trying Hard To Keep The Family Stable

And

I Beg You In Their Behalf

For Strength Of Character

For The Wisdom Of The Wise

And

The Courage To Teach The Children About Christ Jesus

And

For Their Personal Salvation

Him Crucified!

Remember The Mothers

Who Have No Blood-Children

But

Are Sincerely Mothering

All In Need And Withing Their Spere Of Influence!

I Pray, Lord, For The Daddies

And

All Those Performing The Role

With No Biological Bond 

Who Have Drawn The Children Into Their Hearts

And

Are Trying Valiantly

To Keep Them Out Of The Clutches Of The Devil

Who Would Devour Them, Just Because!

Father, 

Some Daddies Have To Be Daddy And Mommy

And

They Are Trying Their Best To Live And Do Right

And

I Plead, In The Name Of Jesus, Father

That They Will Accept The Call Of Your Sweet Spirit

And

Spread Heavenly Light

At Home And Abroad

To Short-Circuit Satan And His Motivated Minions

From Turning These, Our Children

Your Purchased Possession

From Becoming Rebellious 

And, Thus

Agents For Satan

Beelzebub

The God Of Dung Flies!

Please Disappoint The Deceiver:

You Promised!

I Pray For Your Faithful Servants

Many Of Whom Are Coming To Journey's End!

Please Help Them, Father Faithful

To Be Faithful To Life's End!

Grant Them, Lord

Another Opportunity To Tell The Good News

About The Savior That They Personally Know

Giving Their Heart's Testimony

That Christ's Christianity

Is Not About Show

But Is Of Love, Sacrifice, Blessing, Giving

Sharing, Caring

Modeling The Life Of Christ

In All That They Do And Say

No Matter The Payment From The World 

That They Earn That Day!

Please Grant Unto Them

Through The Eye Of Faith

The Vision Of The Lord In All Of His Glory!

Father, 

I Pray For Us All Who Will To Be Saved

That We Will Make A Covenant With You

By Sacrifice

And

By Blood Should That Be Our Domain!

Please Help Us To Stand For Jesus

To Live By The "Thus Saith The Lord!"

To Go On Your Errands Willingly

To Deny The Liar

And

With Alacrity

From All Wrong-Doing To Flee!

Please Help Us, Dear Father

To Obey The Laws Of The Land

As Long As They Do Not Conflict With Your Holy Laws

Which Are The Laws Of Life

For Life

And

Help Us To Live In Peace With All Men

Whenever And Wherever There Is That Possibility!

I Give You Thanks With A Grateful Heart!

I Give You Praise Because You Deserve It!

I Worship You Because You, Alone, Are Holy

And

I Pray All In Jesus Christ's Matchless Name

For This Is The Only Way To You

And

You Command It!

I Love You, Father!

May The Holy Spirit

In Latter-Day Rain Power

Fall Upon Us

So That We May Finish The Work 

Of Warning The World 

Of The Judgment Soon To Come!

Father,

We Need You!

Please Help Us To See That This Is Our Greatest Need

And

Diligently Act To Fix It Under Your Hand!

Grant Unto Us The Will

To Attain The Promised, Provided, Victory Over Sin

And

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN!

Thanksgiving!?! Giving Thanks + PRAYER: I Bow My Heart Before You, Lord!

When I Am Giving Thanks To Almighty God
It Is Impossible For Me To Hate
To Lie
To Steal
To Envy

And
To Indulge Greed!

I'm Thankful To The Lord Christ, Who

With His Own Blood

For My Pardon Does Plead!

I Have No Time To Indulge Malice
And To Be Busy In Other Men's Matters!
I Have No Time My Ego To Inflate
When I'm Rattling Off The Myriad Blessings
That My God Holy Has Lavished Upon My Life
And
Upon My Plate!

My Season Of Thanks Giving
Is Not 

Just For A Grand Holiday!
It Is Day By Day
Hour By Hour

And
Moment By Moment
For A Sacrifice Made In My Behalf
The Price For Which I Can Never Repay!

I'm Thankful ...

For Food
For Shelter
For Life
For Hope For The Day
For Peace
For Rest

And
For How With Life Successfully To Cope!

I'm Thankful ...

For Mercy
For Eyes That See
For Buds That Taste
For The Hope That Has Me Looking Up To The East
And Thinking Upon That Spot In Orion
Out There In Deep Space!

I'm Thankful ...

For Protection
For Direction
For Correction
For Ever-Present Help

And
For The Leading Of The Holy Spirit!

I Know How I Feel

To Be By The Eternal God Totally Blessed

But The Words Can't Be Spelt!

I'm Thankful ...

For A Life Lived For Christ ...To Lose

For A Life To Live With Christ ... To Gain
For A Story To Tell To The Nations That Are Lost
Of The Blessed Savior
The Great Redeemer
Who For All Our Sins 

Was Cruelly Nailed On Calvary's Cross!

I'm Thankful ...

For Grace
For Faith
For Laughter
For Tears

And

For The Holy God
Who Surely Welcomes My Daily Prayers!

I'm Thankful ...

For Friends
For Family

And
For A Beloved Son Who Gives Me No Reason To Cry!

I'm Thankful ... Most Thankful

To My Creator God
For The Plan Of Salvation
For The School Of Jesus Christ
Where My Character Is Being Reshaped
Into That Of My Lord
In Whom Is My Soul's Only Saving Hope!

I'm Thankful ...

For The Kingdom Of Grace ... Now
And
The Kingdom Of Glory ... Soon To Come
And
The Blessing Of The Good Shepherd That
Personally Leads Me To The Green Pastures Of Living Truth
And
The Still Waters Of Eternal Life
Where I Will Not Have To Fear The Great God's
- The Only Judge -
Condemnatory Frown!

PRAYER:

Father, Most Holy

I Will Not Offer To You Feigned Praise!

I Bow My Heart Before You

And

Utter Willing Prayers!

I'm A Child Of The Dust

And In Death

To Dust I Shall Return

But

In This Hour Of Giving Thanks

To You My Gift Of Life I Return

Because

With You Leading

I Will Not Have To Fear

The Fire And Brimstone Burn!

I Thank You, Lord

For Causing Me To Be

For Placing Me In A Time Such As This

For Giving Me The Opportunity

For Your Living Kingdom To Work

To Help To Point My Brethren Known And Unknown

To The Holy God Who Loves His Children

Who Saves Men's Souls From The Second Death

Who Lifts Up The Fallen

Who Frees The Captives From Sin

Who Gives True Sight To The Blind

And

Who Blesses And Has No Desire To Curse!

Father, 

I Am Thankful For A Mother

Who Saw Fit To Ensure That I Learned Of

The Holy Jesus

From A Tender Age

And

For A Grandmother

Who Kept Me On The Way Written

On The Holy Page

And

For All Those Persons Who Had A Hand

In My Spiritual Progress

And

I Am Truly Thankful For Your Holy Love

That Put It All In Motion 

So That With Enduring Faith

In The Great Day Of Small Things

I May Be A Kingdom Success! 

Dear Lord, Let It Be!

Let It Be, Lord

That My Thanks Giving May Turn Into Your

"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant! 

Enter Into The Joy Of Thy Lord!" 

Father, 

This Is My Soul's Desire!

I Love You, Lord

And

I Beseech You

To Please Remember The Praying People

And

Those Who Give The Trumpet Call Of Warning

It's True And Peculiar Sound!

 

Please Keep Me

In An Attitude Of Gratitude

For Your Myriad Gifts Of Sacrificial Love

This Day And Always

And

Even As I Offer Up My Heart's Prayer, Father

In The Glorious Name Of My Savior

My Redeemer

My Lord

My Master

My God 

And 

My Soon Coming King

Jesus Christ The Righteous!
