Thanksgiving Prayer
Robert A. Hall
Heavenly Father, Lord God of Hosts, we ask Your blessing on this food and on our family and friends about to partake of it. We thank You for a country where each person is allowed to seek You in his or her own way, free of a state-imposed theocracy which works to the benefit of the theocrats and against the peoples liberties. We thank You for Your bounty, ever aware that there are so many people throughout the world who live under systems of oligarchy, tyranny and statism who thus suffer from hunger, privation and a lack of freedom. We ask that You put charity in our hearts to help the less fortunate of our own volition, and not through coercion.
We thank You for the foresight of the founders of this great Republic, who gave us a free-market, capitalist system where property rights are protected, allowing the accumulation of wealth, which has given tens of millions of Your people Freedom from Want since it was established out of the smoke and suffering of battle. We ask Your protection and care for our free economy and our free society that future generations may share in Your bounty and blessings.
Father, we seek Your blessings on our troops and our veterans, those young people who give all, often even their lives, to protect the freedoms You have bestowed on us, from those who make a perversion of God, a catechism of power and a religion of the state. Return our guardians safe to their families, comfort the wounded and, when they must sacrifice all, take them into Your Grace for eternity. They are truly the one percent, who shame their contemporaries who want to receive without toil from the efforts of others. We thank You for sending them to protect us and to serve as an example of the better angels of our nature.
We know, Father, that our people and our country have not been perfect. Nor have we who petition you on this day of Thanksgiving been without sin and flaws. We ask Your blessing and guidance on those who would make our nation better and freer and more prosperous and to make us better people. We ask that You turn Your face against those who would destroy freedom and prosperity, whether they disguise their lust for power as being in Your name or the name of social justice and secular government. Put up Your hand as a shield against those who would enslave Your people to government to toil for those who traded power for unearned largess.
We ask, Father, that You preserve this great Republic and its free institutions, including the freedom for people to keep what they earn by their toil and by taking the risks that advance prosperity, free from the fear of confiscation by thugs on the street or thugs in government. We ask this in Your Name, not for ourselves, who have already enjoyed wonderful lives in this blessed country, but for our children, our grandchildren and all future children, that they may enjoy the blessings of liberty and Freedom from Want that we believe are gifts from You and thus the rightful inheritance of Your people.
Amen.
"I, even I, am He who comforts you..."(Isaiah 51:12)

PRAYERS GOING UP FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND NATION!
THE TWENTY-THIRD PSALM
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever."

The Craftsmans Touch
November 21, 2011
I recently saw a documentary about the making of a Steinway piano. It traced the meticulous care that goes into crafting this fine instrument. From the cutting of trees until the piano appears on a showroom floor, it goes through countless delicate adjustments by skilled craftsmen. When the year-long process is complete, accomplished musicians play the piano and often comment on how the same rich sounds could never be produced by a computerized assembly line. The secret to the final product is the craftsmans touch.
When the tabernacle was built, we see that God also valued the craftsmans touch. He chose the craftsman Bezalel and said of him: I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood (Ex. 31:3-5).
Today God dwells in the hearts of believers. Yet the call to craftsmanship has not ended. Now each individual believer is Gods workmanship (Eph. 2:10). The Master Craftsman is the Holy Spirit, who chips away at flaws in our character to make each of us like Jesus (Rom. 8:28-29). And as we yield to His workmanship, we will find that the secret to the final product is the Craftsmans touch.
The Spirit is the Craftsman
Who makes us like the Son;
Hell mold and shape our being
Until His work is done. Sper
The Father gave us the Spirit to make us like His Son.
Read: Exodus 31:1-5
We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works.
Ephesians 2:10
