A Prayer of Thanksgiving

“Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth!
Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before Him, singing with joy. Acknowledge that the Lord is God!
He made us, we are His.
We are His people, the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving; go in to His courses with praise.
Give thanks to Him and praise His name.
For the Lord is good.
His unfailing faithfulness continues to each generation. “
(Pslam 100)
