Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!
Pray: Heavenly Father, as our community begins a season of Thanksgiving, we remember that you are good and that your love is steadfast and enduring! Thank you for being faithful to us, for loving us without condition.
You love us like a mother bear: guide us with your loving touch.
You love us like a generous king: spare us with your compassion.
You love us like a gentle shepherd: lead us beside cool waters.
Amen.
