#3: I PRAISE YOU, O LORD!
Heavenly Father,
This is the day which You have made, I shall rejoice and be glad in it! (Psalm 118:24).
I praise You – the Most High God. Your name is exalted above all names. You are my First love, and the source of my life.
I speak Your Word in Psalm 103:1-4, which says:
“Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all His benefits — who forgives all (my) sins and heals all (my) diseases, who redeems (my) life from the pit and crowns (me) with love and compassion.”
I worship You in reverence and awe, for You are a consuming fire (Hebrew 12:28).
Oh I “sing to the LORD! (I) shout joyfully to the Rock of (my) salvation. (I) come into (Your) presence with thanksgiving … For the LORD is the great God, and the great King above all gods.” (Psalm 95:1-3).
Through Jesus, (I) continually offer to (You) a sacrifice of praise — the fruit of (my) lips that openly profess Your name (Hebrew 13:15).
According to Psalm 119:7, “I will praise You with uprightness of heart, when I learn Your righteous judgments.”
You are worthy to be praised, and to You belong all the honour and glory. In Jesus’ name I pray with thanksgiving. Amen.
