Prayers for Prospering Times

Part of my Thanksgiving celebration today, includes internalizing gratitude, appreciation and thanks in new ways and to greater depths. The idea is that if I can plant seeds of gratitude in my heart and mind today, they will bear sweet fruit for the rest of my life. So today I will count my blessings, give thanks for all that I have and turn my attention to the most precious people and things in my life. I will spend time appreciating those things which I enjoy but usually take for granted. I will tell others how much I appreciate them and I will live into questions about gratitude that expand my capacity to be thankful. What has God granted us that we take for granted? Do we give thanks for our precious moments of wonder or awe? Are we grateful that we can love, dream or make a difference in the world?

Let Us Pray:

Dear Lord, thank You for loving us unconditionally and blessing us right where we are in this holy moment. Thank You for giving us all that we can accept right now. Lord we are grateful that You expand our capacity to accept Your Love and Your Gifts as we open ourselves to giving our love and our gifts. Father, I thank You for giving me avenues, organizations, opportunities and people who appreciate and accept my gifts; today Lord, I am learning that giving and receiving are the same energy and through my giving I receive. I am grateful that I always have something to give, starting with my thanks. Thank You dear Lord for elevating me from the lower frequencies of form-based gratitude, contingent on what I have, to the higher frequencies of gratitude that are anchored in energies of Being. Lord anchor my Gratitude in being free to choose, anchor it in my being able to experience awe and wonder, anchor it in my being capable of connecting with others, anchor it in my joy of making a positive difference and most of all anchor it in Your beneficent activity in my life.

Thank You God! So Let It Be! Amen!

I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king." – Daniel 2:23
