10 Best Thanksgiving Dinner Prayers

Thanksgiving day is a very special day. It’s a day to reflect on all the good things and people in your life and give thanks to God. 

Whether you are able to make it to a family gathering or you couldn’t and have to spend the day alone, it is still a day you can spend alone and reflect on all the things to be thankful for.

But Thanksgiving day isn’t the only day to give thanks, practicing gratitude every day is actually a good thing and there is something to be thankful for every day.

If not for anything,  you can be thankful for the breath of life and for waking up to see a new day.

One common Thanksgiving day ritual is gathering with family and friends to wine and dine whiles talking about everything we are grateful for.

Throughout the year, it is not easy to get the whole family together because of work and different schedules but on Thanksgiving day, everybody gets to be together with their family and that is definitely another thing to be thankful for.

Thanksgiving prayer points 

The thing about thanksgiving prayer is that it is not a prayer for just one day. It is a prayer that can be said all year round. 

So whether you want to say a prayer at the table this Thanksgiving day or you want a thanksgiving prayer you can say every day, these thanksgiving prayers can be used.

If you also want to make up your own thanksgiving prayer, here’s how to do it.

1. Thank God for your immediate blessings

The first thing to do is to say thank you to God for the blessings around you at the moment. This can be for waking up, for your family and friends around you, and for the dinner you are all about to eat together.

2. Thank God for everything He’s done all year round

God is good and His grace is abundant for us all year round. This means that aside from everything and everyone around you right now, there are also things that happened that you should be thankful for.

This can be anything that happened in the course of the year that you are grateful for. Things like a promotion at work, recovery from sickness, buying a new house, graduating from school, or welcoming a new member to the family are all things to be thankful for.

If you are saying this prayer at a Thanksgiving dinner, remember to include things that happened in others’ lives too, and the whole family as a whole, not just things that happened in your life.

3. Ask for continuous blessings 

Now that you’ve thanked God for all that He has done, the next thing to do is to ask God to keep blessing you and your family.

Ask Him for guidance and protection for each and every one of you. Ask Him to bless everyone present and grant them their heart desires.

Pray that God gives you all good health and long life so that you can all be gathered there again in the coming year to say other thanks to Him for everything.

Below are some thanksgiving dinner prayers you can say at the table.
