ARTICLE: HOW TO GIVE THANKS IN PRAYER AND PRAISE

(By Lewis Jeffries)

 

• 1

  Acknowledge God. When we are true to ourselves we understand that we did not create ourselves, we do not sustain ourselves, and we are not in control of ourselves. There is a greater force in this world. A creating, sustaining, maintaining force put everything in order and keeps it that way. The force we know is God. When we think about God and acknowledge him for ourselves we want to get to know about him and maybe get to know him.

• 2

  Seek God. Then we seek not just to know the existence of God, but we seek to know him personally. We seek to have a personal relationship with God. And as our relationship grows we begin to submit ourselves to him. We submit or will and our ways to be led by God and his will and ways become our will and ways. The more we seek him the more we get to know him. The more we know him the more we are in awe of his great and wonderful power.

• 3

  Meditate on God. As our relationship grows and we begin to think of what he has done, is doing and will do; even for us. As we meditate on his works and his word. As we meditate on his promises and his faithfulness and we go to a deeper level a deeper relationship emerges and we want to talk to him.

• 4

  Pray to God. We talk to God. We tell him about our problems. We talk to God. We yield our lives to him. We talk to God. We begin to trust him. We talk to God. We begin to know him as a personal redeemer. We talk to God. He saves us. We talk to God. Knowing all he has done. We talk to God. Knowing all he is doing. We talk to God. Knowing what he will do. And in our mind we reconcile that it is he who created us. In our mind we acknowledge it is God that gives us this air we breathe.

• 5

  We Thank God. With an attitude of gratitude we talk to God thanking him for all that he does for. We thank God for this day. We thank God your yesterday. We thank God for life, health and strength. We thank God for loving us. We thank God for forgiving us. We thank God for his mercy and his grace. As we think things over and figure things out we realize that it was God. And we thank Him.

• 6

  We Praise God. When we talk to God and we move from figuring it out that it was he who deserves the honor. Our soul (our feelings) moves in and takes over. Here we move into praise. For to praise him is to honor him. To praise him is to glorify him to praise God is to give God what he is due from our soul. Not just from our mouths. Not just from our head. This praise comes from a feeling that won't allow the rocks to cry out for us. Yes we know God in our minds and we know him even through our flesh. But praise comes from the soul. As we continue to grow deeper, even in the moment prayer goes to praise through thanksgiving. Praise goes to worship through thanksgiving.

• 7

  Worship God. Form our mind and flesh we thank God because we know and acknowledge him.
  From our soul and feelings we thank God because we feel him.
  From our heart we worship God because our spirit is one with him.
  Our spirit moves into the presence with the Holy Spirit. In His presence We thank Him through worship. Beyond your mind, your flesh and your feelings is the spirit. Your spirit is in the spirit. For you are in God and God is in you. This place is reached by thanksgiving. This place is called Worship.

• 8

  Thanksgiving with a yielded heart moves us from prayer to praise and into worship. For God is. He does not change. He is waiting on us to move into a relationship with him based on our prayer, praise and worship fueled by thanksgiving. Give thanks to God. Praise him for the things he has done. Let the spirit of thanksgiving move and transform you as you worship him. Worship the Lord.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:

Friday Morning Inspiration

by

Jaha Zainabu

 

 

Today I am inspired by the moment. This moment. This right now. I notice that when I am upset it is often due to some past moment not going the way I wanted it to go. The way my ego's script had designed. But when I am present to right now, I notice how God is working in my life. I see how He blessed me with not allowing me to have such and such moment in the past. I see how He blessed me to experience such and such in the past and because of that moment I have such and such in the present. When I let go I can see that God knows the whole picture and what it should look like and that this moment, this right now is just a beautiful piece of the puzzle and without this moment, it may be incomplete.

Let's embrace the moment. Let's live from where we are right now. We know what needs cleaning up, let's do it. We know the ideas that God has put on our hearts, if it is His will for right now, let's act on them. Now.

Happy Friday everyone, I encourage you to be your bests selves today.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER:

Lord, for this another beautiful day that You have made and blessed us to see, we say thank You.   We praise You for Your goodness, kindness, mercy, grace and we thank You because You're faithful.  We praise You God because You're our rock, our redeemer, our protector, our provider, our peace, our deliverer, our friend, our healer--God You are everything to us and we thank You because You're our all in all.   You have kept us through the storm and rain; You have comforted us when we were lonely and scared;  You have healed our bodies when the doctors said no; You have opened doors that men said were closed and closed doors that we decided to go through before we consulted You.   Lord, there is none like You in all the earth, no one else who loves us like You do; No one else who touches our hearts like You do; No one else who justifies us, sanctifies us, restores us and covers us like You do.  God, we praise You because we're safe in Your arms all the time, no matter what.  Help us today to remember how You've always taken good care of us and because of Your perfect record in our lives, we believe today will be no different--You will take care of us; So we purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in this day, and believe the victory belongs to us, we give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:

Lord, You are good and Your mercy endures forever!  We worship You for Your goodness, kindness, mercy, and grace ---just for Who You are in all of Your glory!  Hallelujah!  It's a another perfect day that we thank and praise You for blessing us to see.  We're still here to experience the chill in the air, hear the birds sing, see the green grass, drive the crowded freeways and feel the warmth of a hug from our loved ones.  We're still here and we praise You in advance for all this day holds---the good, the bad and the ugly, because we know whatever this day brings, it will not catch You by surprise and You've already put a plan in action for it to work together for our good!  Help us to sing all day long, "I will trust in the Lord".  Give us a praying spirit and let our answer be, "Yes Lord!"  Father we thank You because it is in You that we live, we move and have our being; So, since You're with us, we already know everything is already alright, thank You Jesus!  Please remember Bro. Wayne and his family Lord, and remind them that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal, that You're to Good to be mean and to Wise to make a mistake.  Comfort them as only You can. It's a good day to give thanks unto our Lord, we give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER:

Our Father in heaven, God we thank You for another beautiful day that You have made just for us.  We thank You Lord for the rain.  Some feel inconvenienced by the rain, some are complaining about the rain, but Lord we're not going to complain, we're not going to fuss about it, we're not going to call it "crazy weather", but instead we will rejoice and be glad in this day because we're thankful to still be here and for another chance to say yes to Your will.   We're praying one for another, asking You to heal bodies that are touched with cold and flu, disease, cancer, arthritis, and all other sickness.  God give strength to the weak, patience to the weary and help us to believe our "due season" is on the way.  Help us to know there is nothing too small for You to care about and nothing too big for You to work out for our good.   It's a good day today, give us the courage to let go of yesterday and be all that You created us to be today.   Praise the Name of Jesus!  You're our Rock!  You're our Fortress!  You're our Deliverer, in You will we trust today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
