A Thanksgiving Psalm: Gratitude to Our Creator and Savior
Rightly understood, Thanksgiving is more than a holiday; it is an act of worship, a turning of our hearts to the One who is the Giver of all good things. As we gather around tables and with loved ones, let us lift our thanks beyond the blessings we see to the One who gives grace daily, sustains us in every season, and redeems our lives.
A Thanksgiving Psalm
O Lord, our Creator, we lift our eyes to You,
The Maker of heaven and earth, whose hands formed all things.
From the rising of the sun to its setting,
Your steadfast love never ceases, and Your mercies are new every morning.
You have crowned our lives with your grace,
Filling our hearts with joy and our homes with hope in you.
Even in the valleys, You are with us,
Guiding us with Your presence and holding us with Your right hand.
We thank You for the grace that saves,
A gift we could never earn, yet freely given in Christ.
Through His life, death, and resurrection,
We are made new, and our souls find rest.
Teach us, O Lord, to count our blessings,
Not merely in the abundance of the table.
Our hearts overflow with thanksgiving,
Not only today but every day, You grant us breath.
For You are good, and Your love endures forever.
May we remember that our ultimate gratitude belongs to our Creator and Savior this Thanksgiving.
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His steadfast love endures forever.” (Psalm 136:1)
