A Prayer of Thanksgiving

Great Creator, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude and thankfulness. Thank You for the gift of life and for all the blessings You have bestowed upon me and my people.

Thank You for the beauty of nature that surrounds us, the trees, the mountains, the rivers and the animals that share this land with us. Thank You for the air we breathe and the water we drink, for the food we eat and the shelter that protects us.

Thank You for the gift of family and friends, for the love and support they give us, for the joy they bring into our lives. Thank You for the wisdom of our ancestors and the traditions they have passed down to us.

As we give thanks, we also ask for Your continued guidance and protection. Help us to walk in balance with all living things and to honor the earth and her resources. Teach us to live in harmony with one another and to respect the diversity of all cultures and beliefs.

In gratitude and humility, we offer our prayers to You, Great Spirit. May Your light shine upon us always, and may we walk in the beauty of Your Holy Spirit and in the love of Your Son.
