Happy Thanksgiving! In Gratitude, Transcending Feelings of Lack

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for everything that You bring to us in life.  We have received so many blessings of health, prosperity and love that there are some we’ve never even paused to give thanks for, and yet Your blessings continue to flow.  Thank You for that Father, for Your patience with us as we seek to achieve the presence Jesus Christ taught us in “Let today’s own troubles be sufficient for the day.”  Help us to stay in this moment connected with You that we may receive all of the blessings of Your love.

Happy Thanksgiving
Giving thanks and transcending lack…

Help us to not only recognize, and bring presence and thanks to the good in our lives, but also to that which we consider to be “bad.”  Even if there is at this time the appearance of lack in any way – in health, in prosperity, or in love – we know these conditions come and go.  Some of us feel lack in one or more of these areas of life, but we know You bring these lessons to us to strengthen us, to increase our faith in You and that any feeling of lack is temporary in our lives.  For this reason, help us to learn at the depths of our souls that every experience we have is a lesson provided by You through your laws.  Every bit of lack we feel is a test of our faith in You and our resolve to practice and demonstrate the lessons taught by Jesus in our own lives.

Give us the wisdom to face the lack in our lives with all of our strength, all of our will, and all of our love, and know that with our faith in You, we will vanquish all lack or learn to live with peace in our hearts regardless.  Yes, we realize that it is not the end of lack in our lives itself that brings us peace, but the end of the “feeling of lack” giving way to peace itself that allows us to be loving and in oneness with You despite what we appear to lack.  And in accepting lack as it is, while asking from a center of peace for what we would like, what we need often appears as a blessing from you.  Thank You Father for these blessings!

But regardless Father, know our intention here and now is to resolve to be loving and happy despite anything we may lack.  We receive every good thing and every life shaping experience emboldened by our faith in You.  And we give thanks for all You provide…

In the name of, according to the teachings of, and in oneness with the spirit of Jesus Christ… Amen.
