We should always pray for
God to be glorified because God is worthy to be glorified and honoured and
praised. We should also glorify God in everything we think and/or do.
I am
the Lord, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to
another
Isaiah 42:8
We should never take credit
for anything that God has done because we rob God of His due glory and equally
we should be careful not to give the glory to a “Saint”. God is not happy when
we do not give Him the glory. Nothing can happen without His involvement.
you shall not
bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous
God, I am the Lord, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another
Exodus 20: 5
Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father
of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
James 1:17
We can glorify God by
becoming disciples of Jesus Christ, submitting to Him, repenting of our sins,
confessing them to God, and trusting in Jesus Christ. If we do, then we
also can pray directly to our Heavenly Father.
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 I can pray in the manner that
pleases You and builds an intimate relationship with You. Strengthen me Jesus
so that I always point to You and give You the glory. Abba Father You know what
I need before I ask and I pray that You will help me to pray for the ‘right’
things and to trust Your choice and timing. Help me to pray without repeating
words uselessly. Abba
Father, I thank You that I
can call You Abba (Da da) Father. As a child of God please give me a brotherly
heart, in respect of all Christian believers so that I may pray and ask in the
spirit of unity, fellowship, and love desiring for my brethren what I desire
for myself. Lead me by Your Spirit Lord. As a child of God and as an heir, an heir of God and co-heir with
Christ, help me to be able to share in Jesus’ suffering in order that I may
also share in His glory. LORD, I pray that I can follow Your commandments and help
further Your Kingdom here on earth and share the good news about Your deep love
for humanity because You ‘want all people to be saved and to come to a
knowledge of the truth. For there
is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who
gave himself as a ransom for all people.’ 1
Timothy 2: 4-6 Help me Lord to seek
first Your Kingdom and righteousness before all my needs and wants. Jesus You
are my daily spiritual bread. Strengthen
me Lord so that I can forgive my debtors as You have forgiven me and to pray
for them. Help me God to get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling
and slander, along with every form of malice. Strengthen me so that I can
clothe myself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Abba
Father, I pray not to be tested
and thank You that if it is Your will to test me, You are faithful and will
help me endure the test and You will find a way for me out of it. Lord I realize that every good gift and every perfect gift is from
above, and comes down from You, Father of lights. God I praise You, revere You, worship You, I stand in
awe of You, and glorify Your Holy Name. For Yours is the Kingdom and the power
and the glory forever. I declare to the world that Christ is my Lord and
Saviour. In the name of the King of kings and Lord of lords, in the Holy
Name of Your only begotten Son Jesus, I pray. To Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty and the dominion since
the beginning of time, now and forever and ever and unto ages of all ages. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
InHim,
