We offer our thanks today, and these Thanksgiving blessings from a selection of faiths and religions found in the Birmingham area.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come into your presence today with hearts full of thanksgiving. God, you are exalted above all things and are worthy of praise. We give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness. Your mercy, loving kindness, forgiveness and grace are beyond measure.

At this season of thanksgiving, may we remember that every good and perfect gift comes from you, Lord. Your outpouring of blessings to us should remind us of our responsibility to others. Let us be your hands and feet to reach out and care for those who are hurting and less fortunate. Let us be your ambassadors as we tangibly share the love of God with others.

Thank you for your Son, Jesus Christ, and may we walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him in every good work.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.
