Prayer of Thanksgiving

O God, You are our rock of salvation. You are the source of strength that lifts us from the depths of our own cares and concerns. We give thanks that You set our feet upon solid ground, and give us courage to face the day. We remember that You have sent us Christ as the seal of your promise. That He went about healing and teaching in response to your will, and that He called on your name when in need. Help us to do the same.

You are indeed a God of compassion and solace. Renew us by the testimony of your enduring indulgence, and empower us through your continuing charity. And with the hosts of those who have gone before us, may we continue to sing your praise. O God, truly You are the rock of our salvation! Amen.

Special Music: “Be Not Afraid”
