Thanksgiving Interfaith Prayer
Let us begin our Thanksgiving by worshipping our God of history, the ground of our being, the source of Life, the compassionate and merciful, who guides and journeys with us to the right path, he who connects us to people and societies.
ALL: Let us celebrate with joy that our awareness and openness will bear fruit of increased union with God and with one another.
As we reckoned the time of the past
This is the time before any of us knew one another. The time before this knowing, when all that is to be was still contained in very being of God.
This is the time of the present
This is where we are together. Our time and energy are gathered into this place. Here we recognize one another and are known as partners in advocating peace.
This is time of the future
We acknowledge this time because we believe in the past and we believe in the present. Because we have touched these times, we know that there is energy that goes on ahead of us. This energy ensures to continue to connect us regardless of time and space as we look forward to our journey in peace.
ALL: Creator God, the God of Relationship and Dialogue, bless this times of past, of present, of future. May these flames of dwelling, of memory and hope become an endless ring of blessings. Calm the turmoil within the gentleness of your peace.
Quiet the anxiety within with a deep trust in you. Strengthen the ties that connect us to one another with the loving bond that you and your God set for us. Compassionate God, be to us the source of light and warm of strength and courage, so that we may be generous and faithful to our commitment for peace and development.
AMEN
