O God of all Creation Prayer
O God of
all Creation: You have cared for the earth, and have
filled it with your riches. Abundance flows in your
steppes, through the pastures and wilderness. You
provide for our land, softening it with showers,
bathing it in light, and blessing it with growth.
The hills sing with joy; the meadows are covered
with flocks; the fields deck themselves with wheat;
and together they glorify your name!
On this occasion of our Thanksgiving, we as a nation
take rest from our labors to consider your many
blessings. We thank you for our freedoms, and for
the opportunity to contribute our skills, our
attributes and our values toward the good of
society.
We thank you for the mixture of our cultures,
blending us into one people under God. Help us to be
a light unto other nations, and to further the cause
of freedom and justice all over the world.
We remember those who are less fortunate than we. We
lift up in prayer the victims of poverty and racism,
and all those who suffer from forms of political and
economic oppression. Let the word that goes forth
from our mouths speak of your peace, and let us
proclaim our hope in Christ as Savior of all
humankind.
We pray that you will bless all those who gather
here, as we have come to experience your presence
among us. Give us your guidance, O God, and empower
us for your work. For we claim nothing for
ourselves, but return all honor and glory unto you,
and offer our thanks and praise. Amen.

Thanksgiving commemorates a feast held in
1621 by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag. A short prayer, grace or
blessing of thanks is given before the meal remembering that
"their youngest son said grace". These Prayers express gratitude
to God for the things one has at the end of the harvest season.
