Psalm 91
Lord,
As I lay down to rest tonight, I am filled with gratitude.
Your word reminds me of your love and protection.
“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”
Thank you for being my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.
Lord, on this eve of Thanksgiving, I want to express my deepest thanks for all your blessings.
“You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day.”
Your constant presence brings me peace, shielding me from fears and worries.
I thank you for the gift of family and friends, for the love that surrounds me.
“For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.”
Your angels watch over me, guiding and protecting me each day.
On this special occasion of Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for the abundance of food and provision you’ve granted.
“You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.”
Your strength empowers me to face challenges with courage.
Thank you, God, for your unwavering love that surpasses all understanding.
“Because they love me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue them; I will protect them, for they acknowledge my name.”
I acknowledge you, Lord, and I am grateful for your unending grace.
As I close my eyes tonight, I offer my heartfelt thanks for everything, big and small.
May my heart overflow with gratitude not only today but every day.
Thank you for being my rock and my salvation.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
