*Prayer :*
I admit that I am a sinner and have no right to approach Your holy Presence except through the blood of Jesus Christ Who died to pay the price for my sins.
I repent of all the wrong deeds and the sinful thoughts that I have committed in my mind.
Cleanse my heart. Purify my mind. Renew my thoughts.
Help me know that it is only as we turn from sin, and believe in Christ as the Savior that we can be reconciled back to You.
Help me to turn aside from all the darkness of the evil.
Thank You for forgiving my sins and may I walk in newness of life for this day forward.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

'Incongruity at its Worst' — Mark 14:43
Key Thought
Think of the incongruity — Jesus is in his place of prayer and is being betrayed by one of his own apostles to a mob that is armed with swords and clubs and that was sent by religious leaders. This kind of "stuff" shouldn't fit together in the same scene. Yet this is what happens to the Lord. Jesus, the fulfillment of God's law, is hated by the experts in the law. Jesus, the ultimate servant leader, is despised and feared by the religious leaders of his day. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is arrested by soldiers armed with swords and crude weapons. Then Jesus, the only fully righteous one, dies for the unrighteous. This doesn't make sense. This doesn't fit. This isn't right. However, this is what happens, and this is how Jesus changes everything. What a breath of fresh air to sustain us when things are not right, when they do not fit, and when they are unfair. Jesus shows us he can enter the worst of circumstances and bring redemption, hope, and victory — even when those circumstances are impossible.
Today's Prayer
Father, thank you for Jesus' victory over sin, death, unfairness, and hatred. Thank you for a victory that was won in the middle of a mess even much worse than the ones we sometimes face in our own lives rather than being won from the fringes or from long distance. Thank you for showing that in the middle of humanity's worst failings, Jesus can bring redemption. I praise you Almighty God for your grace. I praise you, Lord Jesus, for your love. I praise both of you through the intercession of the Holy Spirit you have placed within me. Amen.

And immediately, even as Jesus said [to Peter, James, and John that his betrayer had arrived], Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a crowd of men armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders.

“Thanksgiving gives us an incredible opportunity to practice real gratitude, drop our burdens, and remind ourselves we have a Heavenly Father willing to handle it.”
Today's Sunday Service with Shawn Boonstra prepares us for Thanksgiving by reminding us of the power of gratitude. Through Scripture and stories of faith, we’ll discover how a thankful heart can transform anxiety into peace and align us with God’s provision and love.
SCRIPTURE
STORY
Thanksgiving is an opportunity to realign our hearts with gratitude. Philippians 4:6 offers a remedy for anxiety: prayer and thanksgiving. Even in chaos, gratitude unlocks God’s peace in our hearts, reminding us it’s not just a response to blessings but a way to trust His faithfulness.
The Pilgrims’ story in 1621 shows the power of gratitude during hardship. Despite severe losses, they celebrated God’s provision with thanksgiving. Their faith, not abundance, sustained them. Similarly, Psalm 131 portrays a calm soul, like a child with its mother, trusting God’s care even in uncertainty.
In today’s world of abundance, we often overlook gratitude, leading to dissatisfaction. Paul’s advice to “be anxious for nothing” is challenging, but prayer with thanksgiving shifts our focus from lack to God’s provision, inviting His peace.
Cultivating gratitude daily can help:
Start with thanks: Name three things you’re grateful for each morning, no matter how simple.
Reflect on God’s faithfulness: Recall past blessings to fuel trust for the future.
Pray with gratitude: Thank God for His goodness before presenting requests.
Share gratitude: Encourage others by sharing your blessings.
Gratitude transforms anxiety into peace, as Paul assures in Philippians: “The peace of God... will guard your hearts and minds.” Trusting God allows us to release burdens and rest in His care, as seen in Psalm 131.
This Thanksgiving, go beyond traditions and practice gratitude daily. Reflect on your blessings, pray over them, and share them with others. Gratitude opens our hearts to God’s peace, even in hard times.
REFLECTION
Reflect on the blessings in your life, especially those that may have come through difficult seasons. Consider how God has been faithful in providing for you and guiding you. Take a moment to recount specific ways He has shown His love and care, even when circumstances were challenging. Allow these reflections to remind you of His unchanging faithfulness.
This week, start each day by naming three things you’re thankful for and let those moments of gratitude shape your attitude and perspective. As you pray, focus on thanking God for His goodness before bringing your requests to Him. Trust that as you cultivate gratitude, His peace will guard your heart and mind, bringing you comfort and hope.
“You'll never see God's power until you start praying specifically.”
PRAYER
“Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:”Psalm 50:14
I owe you so much, my dear heavenly Father, there will never be enough words of thanksgiving to express my gratitude for your hand of grace and mercy in my life. You pulled me from the fires of sin and death. Your goodness overwhelms me as I consider my salvation and all the abundant promises granted me through that salvation. I am redeemed through the precious blood of Jesus and bought with a price more valuable than silver and Gold. I want to thank you for delivering me out of the bondage of my shameful offenses, and making me part of your eternal family. The sacrifice you desire most has nothing to do with material sacrifices but the offerings from the heart. What pleases you most is my recognition of what you have done for me out of your gracious and merciful heart. It is your desire that I should know you and love you as you know and love me. For that I must relinquish my childish selfish attitude and grow in my understanding of your goodness.
