everyday / thanks

Accept, O Lord, our thanks & praise for all you have done for us.
We thank you for the splendour of the whole creation,
for the beauty of this world, for the wonder of life, & for the mystery of love.



We thank you for the blessing of family & friends,
& for the loving care which surrounds us on every side.




We thank you for setting us tasks which demand our best efforts,
& for leading us to accomplishments which satisfy & delight us.
We thank you also for those disappointments & failures that lead us to acknowledge our dependence on you alone.




Above all, we thank you for your Son Jesus Christ;
for the truth of his word & the example of his life;
for his steadfast obedience, by which he overcame temptation;
for his dying, through which he overcame death;
for his rising to life again, in which we are raised to the life of your kingdom.



Grant us the gift of your Spirit, that we may know Christ & make him known;
& through him, at all times & in all places,
may give thanks to you in all things.
Amen.
