This is day 12 of our 27 day gratitude and prayer guide in preparation for Thanksgiving. You can download the entire guide here.
Day 3: Respond: Psalm 95:1-3
Re-read Psalm 95:1-3 and respond
Write this passage down on a sheet of paper, but paraphrase it into your own words.
Go back and read through your answers and reflections from Day 1 and Day 2 of Psalm 95:1-3. Spend some time in solitude thinking about the verses and your answers.
Search for two or three hymns or worship songs that fill you with thanksgiving. (Maybe in your own music collection, or you can often find them online such as on YouTube) Play them daily for the next week.
Prayer of Supplication
Preparation for prayer:
Write down your answers to these questions:
What are the favorite things you’ve seen that cause you to sing praise to God?
Who do you know that loves creation but may not know the creator yet?
Spend time in prayer
You can use this as a guide
Father, I pray that you open my eyes to your wonder. Create in me a sense of awe and admiration at what you have made.
Please, open this heart of mine that I’ve too often hardened before you. Draw me closer to you and create in me a greater sense of exhilaration at the wonder of who you are. Let your Spirit move in me to join your creation in worship.
Father, I pray for ___________ who I know loves the beauty of your world. I pray that you can open their eyes to see that you are behind it all. Help me to be a witness to help them see the wonder of who you, that they may one day join creation praising you and your son, through whom I ask this today, Amen.
