"Through the power of Christ, we are learning to live in simplicity, thankfulness, contentment and
generosity in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana."

A Prayer of Thanksgiving


This classic prayer of thanksgiving is adapted from the Book of Common Prayer:

Accept, O Lord, our thanks and praise for all that You’ve done for us. We thank You for the splendor of the whole creation, for the wonder of life, and for the mystery of love.

We thank You for the blessing of family and friends, and for the loving care which surrounds us on every side.
We thank You for our successes, which satisfy and delight us — but also for the disappointments and failures that lead us to acknowledge our dependence on You alone.

Above all, we thankYou for Your Son, Jesus Christ — for the truth of His Word and the example of His life.

We thank you for His dying, through which he overcame death — and for His rising to life again, in which we are raised to the life of Your Kingdom.

Father, may we — at all times and in all places — give thanks to You in all things. Amen.
