Self Examination

Reflection during this week of Thanksgiving

Using the Lord's Prayer as a pattern of self-reflection

Openings by Larry James Peacock

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name:  

How have you noticed God's holy presence in your life this week?

Your kingdom come, your will be done:

How have you sought God's will, worked for God's kingdom?

Give us this day our daily bread:

What is the bread that sustained you?  With whom did you break bread, and to whom did you give bread today?

Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us:

How have you experienced God's forgiveness and offered forgiveness to others?  With whom do you still need to reconcile?

Save us from the time of trial and 

deliver us from evil:

Where was your faith tested?  In what ways were you delivered from difficulty?

For the kingdom, power, and glory are yours, now and forever:

Give thanks for God's kingdom and power, and thank God 

for the blessings you have received.

Finding peace as we give thanks with our hearts

If you find yourself in sorrow or feeling helpless and can't seem to find anything to be grateful for, take a leap of faith and say "You're will be done."  Give everything you are and have to God.

He will make a way for you.

Find peace

Be kind to yourself

I am grateful for
