INTENTION
Pray that the Lord will count us worthy of the calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness, and the work of faith by power that the name of the Lord will be glorified in us.
MEDITATION
"We give thanks, first and foremost, because it is God will that we do so. God Word is replete with exhortations to thanksgiving, both in the Old and New Testaments, and especially in the Psalms:
1 Thessalonians 5:18 In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6 Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God
Psalm 118:1
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his mercy endures forever. It is God who has created us and sustains us; God has provided for our salvation through His sacrifice, has given us grace, and shown us love. As God love for us is unconditional and everlasting, so too should our gratitude be never-ceasing, regardless of our temporal circumstances.
Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, we who are receiving the unshakable kingdom should have gratitude, with which we should offer worship pleasing to God in reverence and awe.
James 1:17 All good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no alteration or shadow caused by change.
In the name of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Act of contrition
O, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you. I detest all my sins because of your just punishment, but most of all because they offend you, my God, who are all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin.
A Thanksgiving Prayer for Family

Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
