hi everybody it's Chris Byberg the director of the national House of Prayer well it's been an exciting week um we were invited to our one of our first events on the hill last night we'll share about that a little bit later it was uh it was an event on human trafficking uh really exciting got to meet many senators and MPS on both sides of the aisle was awesome to talk to them about prayer and they were really super receptive so I've I my heart is very very full of Thanksgiving and we're coming up into the Thanksgiving season you know and you know we just recently we're in Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and there's this whole the posture in my Heart of Thanksgiving and many times we
are thankful at certain times a year but we are called to be thankful all the time the mixture of Thanksgiving in our prayers actually um I was just meditating on it last night about how Thanksgiving actually eradicates eradicates anxiousness you know I was thinking um this old Bing Crosby song uh so that's how I'm dating myself it's from the White Christmas movie which is like one of my favorites uh but if you're worried and you can't sleep just count your blessings instead of sheep and you'll fall asleep counting your blessings anyway this whole posture of coming into a place for Thanksgiving let me read you something from Philippians 4. I love this passage it's such a good part but
anyway you know me I love everything in the word anyway here we go rejoice in the lord always you know this passage I will say it again Rejoice let your gentleness be evident to all the Lord is near listen to this do not be anxious for anything don't you love that don't be anxious for anything but in everything by prayer and petition with Thanksgiving your prayers and petitions are mingled with Thanksgiving bring your requests to God and the peace of God which transcends all understanding I love this will guard your heart and mind Thanksgiving your prayers mingled with Thanksgiving will eradicate anxiousness and God will guard your heart and your mind don't you love that so we are in a
great season of being so every day we pray always with Thanksgiving doesn't matter if it's in the worst times or the best times if we are in Delight or dismay we are going to pray with Thanksgiving because God is good one of our biggest weapons in spiritual warfare is that God is good amen so let's pray father we thank you for your goodness your mercy your love for this nation Lord for what you're doing on Parliament Hill I'll share about that later at a later date but God you're doing so many amazing things in our country Lord you're doing big things in little places so father we pray that as the people of God in Canada we would have and Lord I pray for a greater
capacity for Thanksgiving in our heart in Jesus name amen well thank you everybody it's good to see you bye for now we'll see you next time God bless
