  • A Prayer of Praise

    Lord God, I praise You and adore You (Psalm 69:30).  You alone are worthy of praise, for You are the Creator of all things (John 1:3).  In You all things hold together and have meaning (Colossians 1:17).  Thank You, Lord, for who You are.

    I will praise the Lord my Maker with all that is within me.

    Father God, how great is the love You have bestowed on me that I should be called a child of Yours. And that is what I am (1 John 3:1).  Father, You say that You rejoice over me with joy (Zephaniah 3:17), that spirit of rejoicing, joy and laughter is my heritage. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty — emancipation from bondage, freedom. With Your grace I will walk in that liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17). I trust in You to fill my heart with joy and with the Holy Spirit (Acts 13:52).

    Father, by Your grace, I join with the heavenly hosts making a joyful noise to You and serving You with gladness.  I come before Your presence with joyful singing.  Lord, I know that You are God.  It is You who made me; I am Your people and the sheep of Your pasture.  I enter into Your gates with thanksgiving.  I enter into Your courts with praise.  I bless and affectionately praise Your name.  For You are God and Your mercy and lovingkindness are everlasting.  Your faithfulness and truth endure to all generations (Psalm 100:2-5). 

    It is such a good thing to give thanks unto You, O Lord, and to sing praises unto Your name, O Most High.  I want always to show forth Your lovingkindness in the morning and Your faithfulness every night (Psalm 92:1-2).  Because of who You are and all You have done for me, I am able to offer the sacrifice of praise to You continually, and it is my desire to do so.  It pleases me, O Lord, to be able to give You the fruit of my lips, even praise to Your name (Hebrews 13:15).  Thank You, gracious God, for everything.

    I will sing unto You; I will sing praises to You because You are my Lord God (Judges 5:3).  I praise You, Lord, according to Your righteousness; I will sing praises to Your name, O Lord Most High (Psalm 7:17).  Through Your grace I will praise Your name forever.  When I offer praises to You, dear Lord, I know I am glorifying You (Psalm 50:23).  May my mouth be filled with Your praise and honor all day long (Psalm 71:8).  I will sing of Your mercies forever.  With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations (Psalm 89:1). 

    I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart. I will glorify Your name forever (Psalm 86:12). I will praise Your name in song and glorify You with thanksgiving (Psalm 69:30). I will celebrate Your abundant goodness, O God, and joyfully sing of Your righteousness (Psalm 145:7). For You, O Lord, have made me glad by what You have done. I will sing for joy at the work of Your hands (Psalm 92:4).

    Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You, O Lord my Redeemer. I will praise You as long as I live, and in Your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods, and with singing lips my mouth will praise You. (Psalm 63:3-5)

    You, Father, faithful Lord, are gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. You, my loving Lord, are good to all; You have compassion on all You have made. All You have made will praise You, O Lord; Your saints will extol You. (Psalm 145:8-10)

  • A Personal Prayer of Thanks

    We have been urged, above all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone (1 Timothy 2:1) and everything.

    Thanks be to God that, though I used to be a slave to sin, I wholeheartedly obey the form of teaching to which I was entrusted (Romans 6:17).  So I can say: Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57).  Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him (2 Corinthians 2:14). 

    Thanksgiving will be in my mouth (Ephesians 5:4).  I will sing and make music in my heart to the Lord, and I will always give thanks to God, the Father, for everything in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:19-20). 

    I will not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with much thanksgiving, I present my requests and petitions to God (Philippians 4:6), joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified me to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:12). 

    So then, just as I received Christ Jesus as my Lord, I will continue to live in Him, being rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as I was taught, and overflowing with thankfulness (Colossians 2:6-7).  I will let the peace of Christ rule in my heart, since, as a member of His body, I was called to peace.  And I am ever thankful (Colossians 3:15).

    Whatever I do, whether in word or deed, I will do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, constantly giving thanks to God the Father through Him (Colossians 3:17).  I will devote myself to prayer, and I will remain watchful and thankful (Colossians 4:2). 

    I will be joyful always; I will pray continually; and I will give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for me in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).  How can I thank God, my loving Father, enough for the blessings He has given me in return for all the joy I have because of them? (1 Thessalonians 3:9)  For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving (1 Timothy 4:4). 

    Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, (Hebrews 12:28).  We give thanks to You, O Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because soon You will have taken Your great power and will have begun to reign (Revelation 11:17). 

  • Give Thanks To the Lord

    Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, and call upon Me in the day of trouble.  I will deliver you and you will honor Me…  He who sacrifices thank offerings honors Me and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God. (Psalm 50:14-15, 23). 

    [David] consulted with the people and appointed some to sing for the Lord and some to praise the splendor of His holiness.  When they went out in front of the armed forces, they kept singing: “Give thanks to the Lord, for His faithful love endures forever” (2 Chronicles 20:21).

    The trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank the Lord with one voice (2 Chronicles 5:13). They were also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the Lord, and likewise in the evening (1 Chronicles 23:30). Let us do the same.

    Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song (Psalm 95:2).  Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name (Psalm 100:4).  Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done (Psalm 105:1). 

    Give thanks to the Lord, for His is good; His faithful love endures forever (1 Chronicles 16:34).  Give thanks to the Lord; call on His name; proclaim His deeds among the peoples (1 Chronicles 16:8).  And say: “Save us, God of our salvation; gather us and rescue us from the nations so that we may give thanks to Your holy name and rejoice in Your praise (1 Chronicles 16:35). 

    Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever.  Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name and glory in Your praise (Psalm 106:1, 47). 

    Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good… Give thanks to the God of gods… Give thanks to the Lord of lords… Give thanks to the God of heaven.  His love endures forever (Psalm 136:1-3, 26). Give thanks to the Lord of Armies because the Lord is good, because His mercy endures forever. (Jeremiah 33:11) 

    Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever (Psalm 107:1). Let [all] give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for men (Psalm 107:8, 31).  Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of His works with songs of joy (Psalm 107:22). 

    Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done, and proclaim that His name is exalted (Isaiah 12:4).  We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, for Your name is near; and men tell of Your wonderful deeds (Psalm 75:1). 

    Now therefore, our God, we [too] give You thanks, and we praise Your glorious name (1 Chronicles 29:13).
