Prayer For Praise
Thanks for a beautiful day: On a beautiful day,
we may thank God and praise him for his many gifts.
Father of Jesus,
We praise you and give you glory
For the wonderful things you do for us;
For life and health,
for friends and family,
for this splendid day.
For these reasons, we pray as Jesus taught us:
Let us give glory to the Father
Through the Son
In the Holy Spirit,
For God has made us his people, his Church,
And calls us to sing his praises.
All honour and glory and thanks are his,
And praise and worship belong to him.
To God be glory in his Church
For ever and ever!
Amen!
Blessed are you, Lord God:
Blessed are you for ever.
Holy is your name:
Blessed are you for ever.
Great is your mercy for your people:
Blessed are you for ever.
Amen!
Praise the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty. (Exodus 34:6-7)
Praise the Lord, who is like no other, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression. Praise Him for His mercy He does not retain his anger forever, because He delights in steadfast love. Praise Him for His compassion and for His forgiveness. He will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea (Micah 7:18-19).
Praise God that He is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and that He is your solid Rock, your Fortress, your Rescuer, your Shield, your salvation's strength, and your place of safety. Amen
Praise the Lord for being the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable (Isaiah 40:28). His ways are higher than your ways, and His thoughts higher than your thoughts. Amen
Dear God,
We praise you today with our hearts and songs, we praise you for your faithfulness, we praise you for your great power and love. We confess our need for you, our lives don't go so well when we just spin around on our own. We struggle and worry, get weary and worn. Yet you never leave us. Thank you for your presence. Thank you for your care over us, thank you that you breathe renewal right into our souls. We ask for your spirit to fill us, to draw us close to yourself, and to work your purposes through us, as we set our eyes on you.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
