Prayer of Thanksgiving / Gratitude
God of abundance,
we thank You for the gifts of Creation,
for the land that sustains us
and the communities that nurture us.
We are grateful for
Your unending love and faithfulness,
which guide us through trials and triumphs alike.
Fill our hearts with gratitude
and our lives with generosity,
that we may share Your blessings with all.
Amen.
Prayer for others / Intercession
God of justice and peace,
we lift before You the needs of our world.
For those suffering
under the weight of poverty and oppression,
bring relief and dignity.
For leaders and decision-makers,
grant wisdom and compassion in using power.
For communities divided by fear or hatred,
sow seeds of reconciliation and understanding.
Inspire us to act boldly in love.
Amen
