Here’s
a prayer of thanksgiving from Christine Jerrett.
Prayer
Now
we know:
all
is grace
all
is gift.
You
give us all good things:
life
and love;
daily
bread and water that quenches our thirst;
friends
and faith.
Most
of all, in your Son, Jesus,
you
meet us with a love that will never let us go;
you
utter words of mercy and forgiveness
that
override the hurts,
and
heal our brokenness;
you
offer new beginnings
where
we had expected only dead ends.
We
give you thanks and praise
for
the mystery of your suffering love
that
gives us life.
We
give you thanks and praise
that
you know our weakness
and
hear our prayers.
We
give you thanks and praise
that
all our dying and living
is
held in your good keeping.
Now
we know:
all
is grace
all
is gift.
We
give you thanks and praise.
