Father,
In the midst of our pain and joy, we praise You.
When we see chaos and confusion all around us, we praise You.
When all seems to be lost, we praise You for Your goodness and mercy.
When we fall short of all that You would have us to be, we praise You for forgiveness.
When
sickness and disease attack our bodies, we praise You for the healing
virtue that flows into the very core of our beings because You
sacrificed Your Son and by His stripes, we are healed.
When the
enemy attacks our minds and tries to make us think that we are not
loved, not wanted, not worthy, we praise You because we know and
understand Your Word that says we are loved, we are never alone and it
is because of us--that Jesus was willing to die just for us--that we
might have eternal life. It is because of Your Word that tells us no
weapon formed against shall prosper that we can move forward each and
every day. It is because of Your word that we know Your desire is for
us to prosper as our soul prospers.
It is because of Your Word that we know we are not defeated because we are more than conquerors and we praise You.
When
there is nowhere to run and hide from all of the ugliness in the world,
we praise You because we know You are a strong tower and we can hide in
the shadow of the Most High.
And because we know that You know
our thoughts from afar off, we praise You because we have no need to
articulate every little need we have because You know and hear the
prayers of the righteous.
And for hearing and answering our
prayers, we praise You, the only wise God, creator of all things that
were ever created and without You, nothing was created.
For Your
Word states that whatever we ask of You in the name of Jesus, we shall
have it and we declare it done--all of our needs are met.
In Jesus' name we pray and thank You, Amen!
