IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND
TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH. Enter into his gates with
thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful to him, and bless
his name. I will sing of mercy and judgment: to you, O LORD, will I sing. Heal
me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are
my praise. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has
blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. But you are
a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;
that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of
darkness into his marvelous light.
Psalms 92:1 Psalms 100:4 Psalms 101:1 Jeremiah 17:14 Ephesians
1:3 1Peter 2:9
When things are going our way Praise seems to be a
natural part of what we want to do. However on the days when we face problems,
challenges, and bad news it is much more difficult to show or express
gratitude, pleasure, or approval in an unrestrained or heartfelt manner.
God understands how our emotions are built; He made
them. He also knows that praise is the cure for a heart weighed down by
concerns, worries and fears. Praise helps us to
focus our attention on God. When we take a long and deliberate look at the
character and ways of the Lord Jesus who loved us enough to die for us, our
eyes are naturally shifted away from the difficulty and onto His ability to
care for us.
Praise increases our faith. Telling God what we love
about Him always involves reciting His past actions of might and power on our
behalf. You can look back at the times He sent special provision at just the
right moment and thank Him for them. This process results in a heart that
expands with joy and security in Him.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, I
pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your
Spirit in my inner being, so that when fears, irritations and concerns come my way I can praise You. Enable me to look
at Your provision Lord in the past and rejoice at what You will do in the
future. Jesus You said “I am leaving
you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the
world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” John
14:27 Lord I praise Jesus who has called me out
of darkness into His marvelous light. Thank
You Father for Your abundant blessings and Your deep, inseparable and
everlasting love. God I praise You, revere You, worship You, I stand in awe
of You, I
lift You up on high and glorify Your Holy Name. LORD, In the mighty name of Jesus; my Lord and Saviour; I pray to You Father. To
Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty and the dominion forever and ever
and unto ages of all ages. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
