Here’s a harvest thanksgiving prayer from Christine
Sine’s Godspace website.
She writes: “God’s
harvest comes not just in the bounty of the produce we pull out of the garden –
it comes in the wonder of his love, in the nourishment of his generosity and in
the outpouring of his forgiveness. I think that this prayer reflects
that. It can be used as a responsive prayer as shown or as an individual
prayer.”
God of the Bountiful—A Harvest Prayer
God we thank you for your harvest which feeds us so many
times each day.
We are nourished with your forgiveness and hope
We are sustained with your strength and patience
We are filled with your grace and compassion
God we thank you for feeding us with a harvest of plenty
We are restored through your generosity and healing
We are replenished with your abundance and joy
We are reminded of your selfless abandon
God we thank you for feeding us with the bread of heaven
Your gift of Christ sustains our lives
His presence restores the promise of your love
His life fills our hearts with your everlasting light
God we thank you too for filling us with the water of
life
May we drink deeply that our thirst may be quenched
May your river continue to flow
Over us, in us, through us
And out into the world you love.
