A Thanksgiving Prayer 2023
Dear God, on this Thanksgiving Day
I want to You my homage pay.
But first I must confess my sin,
of treating you like a has-been.
In years gone by, daily I raised,
my voice in thankfulness and praise,
for giving me another day,
of life to live, to work, and play.
These days I’m so preoccupied,
with all the things that concern me.
I scarcely have the time to think,
So, please accept my wistful winks.
But since it is Thanksgiving Day,
I must make sure I stop and say,
Thank you for all you’ve done for me,
Despite the way I treated Thee.
Help me, dear Lord, my ways to mend.,
and treat you as my God and friend.
To live a life that honors you,
By pleasing you in all I do.
Please put in me a grateful heart,
which thanks you daily at the start.
Not only on Thanksgiving Day
And that, in such a casual way.
To one and all, I wish to say,
stop treating God as common clay.
Acknowledge Him in all your ways,
and He will guide and bless your days.
