On this Thanksgiving Day, we invite all Americans to join us in praying for our nation and the world. The past year has been challenging for many Americans. We have witnessed countless instances of tyranny, abuse, and corruption in addition to a failing economy and horrific wars around the world. We need to unite in prayer. Thanksgiving is the perfect occasion to draw ourselves together in community to God to express our gratitude for the blessings He has bestowed on us and to ask for continued blessings, protection, and forgiveness.
As President George Washington penned in the very first Thanksgiving Proclamation, “Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be...that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions”.
Let us take this opportunity to return to God as a nation and appreciate the special blessings, opportunities, and comforts that He has granted us through this great country. Most of all, let us ask for God’s mercy to preserve us from evil and reunite us as a God-fearing people once more.
From the CPAC family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!
