Thanksgiving

11/27/23 - offered by Maria Hamparian

Dear loving Father,

Thank you for bringing this precious Bible Study group together with Der Vazken’s guidance to study the life of our divine savior, Jesus Christ.

Here in the U.S, we just celebrated Thanksgiving with families. This is a time to give thanks, pray and count our blessings, even when going through hard times, missing loved ones, and the many struggles we face. As Armenians, we are hurting very much after losing Artsakh recently, and hearing the horrible situations Artsakhtis are in now. We are so grateful for everyone and every organization who are helping them. We pray for love and compassion from lots of the locals who are lacking it now; and we pray for hope for all the forcefully displaced families.

Dear God, thank you for your amazing power and work in our lives. Thank you for your goodness and for your blessings over us. Thank you for your great love and care. Thank you for your sacrifice so that we might have freedom and life.

Forgive us when we don't thank you enough, for who you are, for all you do, and for all you've given. Help us to set our eyes and our hearts on you afresh. Renew our spirits, fill us with your peace and joy. We love you and we need you, this day and every day. We give you praise and thanks, for You alone are worthy! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
