Praise Be To You, O God

Praise be to You, O God of Creation, for You are good to me and I will praise You while I have breath to speak.  You mean everything to me and I will forever rejoice in the One who has given me life.  And, if the mountains come crashing down or the seas go dry, I will still lift up my voice in praise to You.  I will make my boast in You alone and I will delight in being called by Your name. I will forever remember Your loving kindness, abundant mercies and many benefits.  Through my praise, I will renew my commitment to You each day.  For You fill me with hope and fill my day with Your goodness.  You reassure me of Your protection and safety as I lay down to sleep.  There is none in all the world who I can love and trust like You … and, I know You will be responsive whenever I cry out to You in need.  I pledge myself to You alone … for man is fickle and governments corrupt … but You are honest and true.

I have come to realize that the “real” solutions for my life can only be found in You.  I also know that my human frailties and weaknesses limit my ability to live victoriously when I am separated from You.  I offer thanksgiving to You because of Your patient and unconditional love … Your delivering me from Hell and the grave … and, Your dispensing of mercy to me when I do not deserve it.  How relieved I am when You rescue me from trouble and cause the storms in my life to subside.  O Maker of the Heavens and Earth, and all that live in them, I rejoice in Your kindness and commitment to me.  You have proven Yourself consistent in applying justice … honoring Your Word … and, never compromising Your character.  The fact that You have been faithful in Your relationship with me testifies to Your fidelity to me in whatever circumstances I find myself.  Your personal touch in my life makes me feel valued and loved.

I give You praise, My Lord, for whenever I feel helpless or hopeless, You are there to comfort and encourage me.  You are supportive of my daily life … providing food to nourish me … setting my spirit free when I find myself bound up in fear and worry … opening my eyes to see You and solutions to my problems more clearly … lifting my countenance when I am feeling low … watching over me and providing a hedge of safety … and, loving me in spite of my mistakes and failures.  Your kindness flows to me through Your grace and mercy which are in abundant supply.  I give You praise, My King, for Your reign is dedicated to bringing prosperity and goodness into my life.  Selfishness plays no role in what motivates You to act on my behalf and my request of You is Your help in removing self-serving attitudes from my life so I can better emulate You.  And I want You to know that as long as I have breath, I will give You praise.  And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray.  AMEN!!

Psalm 34:1-3 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.  My soul will boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and rejoice.  Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together.
