This is a prayer from the Diocese of Cleveland newsletter. It is taken from a memo from the Akron Area Interfaith Council:
A Prayer of Thanksgiving
O Creator and God of All,
We give thanks for all that we have.
For our food, we give thanks.
Help us to remember those who are hungry.
Instill in us the goal to feed all of your people.
For our friends, we give thanks.
Help us to remember those who are alone.
Instill in us the care to bring others into our circle.
For our job, we give thanks.
Help us to remember the jobless.
Instill in us the resources to find jobs for all.
For our health, we give thanks.
Help us to care for those with health needs.
Instill in us the focus to provide all with needed healthcare.
For the beauty of nature, we give thanks.
Help us to remember that we are stewards of creation.
Instill in us the wisdom and will to care for our planet.
When we sit to rest and think that all is well, stir us up to know
that your work is not done. Instill in us the heart to love all
as we serve all. Amen.
