———————————-
Thanksgiving Prayer can be recited on Thanksgiving day, an American holiday that occurs on Thursday of the last week of November.
There are also a couple of other countries that observe this holiday but on varying dates. It is a time when family and friends come together to give thanks for their blessings during the course of that year.
Though there is a common holiday named Thanksgiving Day, that is not the only time we say a Thanksgiving prayer.
As Christians Thanksgiving prayers should be said whenever you have anything to be thankful to God for, which is often.
Some of the Prayers to give thanks in both situations include:
Thanksgiving Day Prayer
O Glorious Father, we give you thanks for your infinite generosity and providence to us. Dear Lord, thank You for the blessings of the food we are about to eat and especially for this Thanksgiving feast today.
Dear Lord, on this Thanksgiving Day, we bow our hearts to You in prayer. We give You thanks for all You have done, mostly for the gift of Jesus Christ, Your Son. Open our hearts to Your love.
Thank You for our home and family and friends, especially for the presence of those present here. Thank you for our health, our work, and our play.
Heavenly Father, please send help to those who are hungry, alone, sick, and suffering war and violence in war-torn countries.
So today we offer this response of praise with a promise to follow You for the rest of our days. We ask for Your blessings through Jesus Christ your son. Amen.

Funny Thanksgiving Prayer
Father, my soul is torn with riot Incited by my wicked diet.
“We are what we eat,” said a wise old man, Lord, if that’s true, I’m a trash can. To rise on Judgment Day, it’s plain, With my weight as it is, I’ll need a crane.
So grant me strength Lord that I may not fall Into the grasp of cholesterol. May my flesh with carrot-curls be dated, That my soul may be cleansed
And show me the light that I may bear witness, To the President’s Council on Physical Fitness. And at fats I’ll never mutter, For the road to Hell is paved with butter.
And cream is cursed; cake is awful, And Satan is hiding in every waffle. Satan lurks in pepperoni, The Devil himself in each slice of bologna.
Beelzebul is a bar of chocolate, And Lucifer is a lollipop. Give me this day my daily slice, Cut it thin and toast it twice.
I beg upon my chubby knees, Deliver me from jujubes. And when my days of trial are over, And my war with malted milk won.
Father, Let me stand with Heavenly throng, In a shining robe size 30 long. I can do it, Lord, if you’ll show to me, The virtues of lettuce and celery.
Lord, Teach me the evil of mayonnaise, And of pasta a la Milanese. And crisp fried chicken from the South, Lord, if you love me, shut my mouth! Amen.”
