A Prayer of Thanksgiving

Lord, today I thank you for answered prayers
For the protection you keep on giving us
For the way you work quietly behind the scenes
Changing hearts and changing minds
Swaying gently men's hearts
To bring about your will

Thank you for being the unseen power
That keeps working things out for good
Even when we lose hope and our trust grows weak
Thank you for the strength that you provide
For battles we cannot fight alone
For all this and even more we thank you

Lord we thank you for things we own
They are not our most important assets
Most possessions we could live without
All our necessities we find with you
For without you Lord
We have nothing
We are but small vessels tossed about
We thank you for
Your all seeing eye
That's watching over us day and night
Your steadfast love is our anchor

So as I bow my head in prayer
Thanking you
I thank you
Most of all
For just being here
Abiding within my heart
For where you are
Fear cannot survive
You make the darkest corners light

So in the harbor of your love
Where peace and safety flourish
I want to live forever
Protected and nourished
Listening to your heartbeat
Under your Almighty wings

A beautiful thanksgiving prayer of praise!  It's great to be thankful for God just being God rather than just for gifts He so generously bestows on us.  Thank you for sharing this.

Sometimes, His just being there makes it better. So that we are never alone. Great reminder of what we should be thankfull for everyday of the year.

Thank you Noah, and everyone of you. I am unworthy of praise, all praise goes to the one who gives freely all that we need.
