Prayers for Thanksgiving come from various cultures and faiths. Thanksgiving prayers reflect the holiday's theme of gratitude for the blessings in each of our life, and ask for blessings to be extended to us, our loved ones and the food you are about to enjoy. These prayers are not just for Thanksgiving, however; they can be said around the table for Thanksgiving dinner or any time of the year you feel thankful and blessed.
