Take a Moment Prayer : Week of Nov 23

With a grateful heart, I come to you today, my Awesome God. I raise my voice and spirit in praise and thanksgiving to you for your marvelous works and generosity. Everything you do for me…the care you give…the love that you pour over me…the necessities you provide…the healing you deliver to me as needed are too numerous to name; but are appreciated more than words can express. My life would be empty and lack meaning without you and your guidance. My sin would eat away at my joy in life without your undeserved grace and forgiveness. Although it is inevitable that challenges will arise…I will not allow them to hold me down from embracing hope for better days ahead that I know you will provide. I pray for the poor, the spiritually lost, the grieving…the hopeless. May your presence and love pour over them and lead them to a better day. Thank you, God, for the promise of new and better days. Thank you, God, for everything! Amen.

November

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (Colossians 3:17)

I want to make a confession. As I journey towards my retirement, I enjoy looking back to see what I was writing about in my monthly Pastor’s Pen articles. Some remind me about things we have done together, and others speak of lessons about what it means to be the church, and still others address world issues that we face as Christians. Not all are relevant to our current days. But I came across this Pastor’s Pen for Thanksgiving 2021. Maybe you remember it; I don’t. I like the message and felt it is worth sharing again. I hope it blesses you again.
