Do you know how praising the Lord can change you a

Do you know how praising the Lord can change you and your prayers?

Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God all my life long. Psalm 146:1

God-Above, Maker of Heaven and Earth,
How often do we pause to consider who you are,
your graciousness,
your goodness,
your generosity?
Not often enough.
When we take time to consider
your “wondrous works” and “mighty acts,”
we receive a blessing—
our worry shrinks and our confidence grows.
Let’s start naming just a few of the things we praise you for:
You “uphold all who are falling
and raise up all who are bowed down” (Psalm 145:15)
[Name why this matters to you or those you pray for.]
You are our help and our hope,
the God “who made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all that is in them” (Psalm 146:6).
[Name why this matters to you pr those you pray for.]
You “execute justice for the oppressed,
you give food to the hungry” (Psalm 146:7).
[Name why this matters to you or those you pray for.]
You “lift up the humble;
you cast the wicked to the ground” (Psalm 147:6).
[Name why this matters to you and those you pray for.]
You “take pleasure in your people;
you adorn the humble with salvation” (Psalm 149:4).
[Name why this matters to you and those you pray for.]
Good and gracious Father,
for all of these things and thousands more,
we praise your name,
we rejoice in you,
we adore you,
we give you glory.
Develop in us a regular rhythm
of praising all of your goodness.
In Jesus’ wonder-full name. Amen.
Read one or more from Psalms 145-150.

Do you want to be known and loved? For now we see

Do you want to be known and loved?

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:12

All-Seeing Father,
You know that our world tells us to know ourselves
and even to decide for ourselves who we will be—
to write our own stories for our own glory.
Our world teaches us to be “know-it-alls.”
And yet, you tell us that we are no better at seeing you fully
than a seventy-five-year old with cataracts.
Yes, we see some aspects clearly,
both of you and ourselves,
but much remains dim.
The great good news is that
you see us clearly,
know us fully,
and love us perfectly.
In Isaiah, you assure us,
“I have called you by name,
you are mine” (Isaiah 43:1).
Because we belong to you,
you will be with us
when we pass through
the waters
and the fires.
Because we belong to you,
you know us,
even when we are in the wilderness
and do not know ourselves.
We confess our desire for knowledge,
thinking it gives us power;
We confess our longing to know you fully
that we might love you fully,
even as you fully know and fully love us.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Read 1 Corinthians 13:12; Isaiah 43:1-2; Hosea 13:4-8.

What is your greatest comfort when faced with sad

What is your greatest comfort when faced with sad news?

For we don’t live for ourselves or die for ourselves. If we live, it’s to honor the Lord. And if we die, it’s to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. Romans 14:7-8

Faithful Savior, Lord Jesus Christ,
In this world that values autonomy above all else,
it is odd to utter the words of the ancient creed:
“My only comfort in life and in death
is that I am not my own
but belong to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ.”*
And yet, the apostle Paul teaches us here
that it is a great comfort when faced with dark news
to know that we belong to you.
You give us eternal life,
and no one can snatch us out of your hand (See John 10:28).
You have paid the debt for our sins
and freed us from all the power of the devil,
including fear of death.
Because you and only you preserve us,
not a single hair can fall from our heads
nor a cell grow in our bodies
without the will of our Heavenly Father.
Because of this great good news,
we live each day expectantly,
giving you glory for each day you give us.
Because of your kindness we pray.
Amen.
Read Romans 14:7-9; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Hebrews 2:14; Matthew 10:29-31.
*See The Heidelberg Catechism, Question 1.

Have you counted your blessings lately?

[Friends, this is the third and last in a series of praying through Psalm 23.
Do you enjoy this way of praying through the Bible?]

You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23:5–6

Heavenly Father,
You prepare a feast for us
in the presence of our enemies.
You tend to us by anointing our head with oil (Psalm 23:5).
[Name ways the Lord has tended to you
and fed you richly when you have been in trial or turmoil].
Our cups overflow with blessings.
Surely your goodness and unfailing love
will pursue us all the days of our lives (Psalm 23:5-6).
[Name ways you have seen God’s blessings,
goodness, and unfailing love every single day this week].
We will live in the house of the Lord forever (Psalm 23:6).
[Describe the security and hope of knowing
that you are living in the Lord’s house forever,
and no one can make you leave].
In the name of Jesus, our richest blessing,
Amen.
Read Psalm 23.

Do you need hope in dark places?

Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me. Psalm 23:4

Lord, our Good Shepherd,
As we walk through dark valleys,
valleys that feel like death,
valleys that lead to death,
[Name some valleys you are currently walking through or have walked through.]
We will not be afraid,
[Name any fears you have felt.]
For you are close beside us.
[Name how you have known God’s presence with you.]
Your rod and your staff protect and comfort us.
[Name the protection from harm and the comfort in grief and pain you have known].
In the name of our comforting Shepherd, Jesus, we pray.
Amen.
Read Psalm 23.

Do you need guidance and rest?

[Note: Often the best prayers come straight from Scripture.
Over the next three days, I am taking the simple language of the NLT translation of Psalm 23 and making it into a personal prayer. Please join me].

Psalm 23:1–3 (NLT): 1
The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.

Faithful Lord,
You are our shepherd;
We have all that we need.
[Name some of the needs he has provided].
You let us rest in green meadows;
You lead us beside peaceful streams.
[Name ways he is inviting you to rest; confess ways you resist resting].
You renew our strength.
[Name some ways he has renewed your strength.]
You guide us along right paths,
bringing honor to your name.
[Name ways he is guiding you and bringing honor to his name].
In the name of our Saving Shepherd.
Amen.
Read Psalm 23.
