2 For as much as it is the indispensable Duty of all Men to adore the superintending Providence of Almighty God; to acknowledge with Gratitude their Obligation to him for Benefits received, and to implore such farther Blessings as they stand in Need of; Samuel Adams, 1777

3 I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. Abraham Lincoln, 1863

4 Thanksgiving in America today

5 A Thanksgiving Prayer Ephesians 3:14-21

6 Paul shares with the Ephesians the details of a prayer he has been consistently praying for them. It is a stirring and powerful plea that God would do amazing things not just for them but IN them. Today that prayer is our focus as we consider the many things that God offers us when we begin to pursue a life in Christ. Things for which we should be very thankful.

7 The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. C.S. Lewis

8 14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

9 1. Why I Pray God is my Creator AND my Father! 14-15

10 Consider the Implications of having a Creator that desires to also be a Father So the one who knows me best, loves me most! How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God! (1 John 3:1)

11 Consider the Implications of having a Creator that desires to be a Father -So the one with the ability to speak not only words, but even worlds wants to hear from me! The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth (Psalm 145:18)

12 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,

13 18 may have power, together with all the Lord s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

14 2. What I Pray Surprisingly Paul is not praying for safety, or wealth or health in this famous prayer, but instead for even deeper riches 16-19

15 I pray for a real and growing faith

16 I pray for the boundaries of your love to expand to immeasurable dimensions!

17 I pray for such a deep satisfaction with God that there is no room left for lesser things!

18 20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

19 3. When I pray Perhaps the best part of Paul s plea is the expectation attached to it. He believed things were happening when he prayed! 20-21

20 I believe big things are happening when I pray (even if it is not what I asked or imagined) God is able to act beyond my ability to ask or imagine

21 I see power being unleashed when I pray Within us 20 The church 21 Throughout all generations 21

22 God is glorified when I pray

23 Amen is an odd word. It literally means so be it! Or, I agree. Amen as a postlude in prayer is a way of affirming God s sovereignty in our prayer life. A way of saying, God, whatever your plans are for me and whatever your word is to me, I accept it and I bend my will to yours. We can all say Amen to a pray like Paul s, but do we mean it? Are we ready to actually pray and live such a prayer?
