Prayer of Thanksgiving
Today, we chose to fast in order to draw closer to God, to be even more aware of His presence with us and our need for Him.
Having now broken our fast this evening, we offer a prayer of thanksgiving to God for his strength and provision.
Take a moment now to be still, to slow your breathing, and revel in the silence. Allow yourself to be aware of God’s presence with you.
Reflect upon the day that has passed. When and where did you sense God’s presence the most? When and where were you most aware of your dependency on Him?
Heavenly Father,
As I end this day of fasting, I give you thanks for sustaining me throughout the day. Thank you for reminding me that you truly are the author of life.
Thank you for your Son Jesus, for being the bread of life and ever-flowing fountain that our souls long for.
I am grateful that you provide for both my physical and spiritual needs, including the food that I get to eat. May the joy and delight found in every meal point to the greater joy and delight found in being yours.
Amen
