Anyone up for a 30 Day Increase in Praise & Worship Challenge?

Thank you heavenly father for understanding the language of tears. When I didn't know what else to say to you and all I could do was cry, you knew I needed your loving arms to be wrapped around me.

You gave me the peace that you promised in your word. The peace that surpasses all understanding. Thank you father!

It Comes Naturally - I'm with you so much on this. I had one of those days last week. I had no words, only tears but God comforted my heart.

Yesterday, someone asked me if I'm carrying over any prayers from 2010 to 2011. I thought about it for a little bit, then thankfully and very humbly I said "No, God has given me everything I needed this year." It's been a long time since I've felt this way. I have shed some tears, I have felt some heartbreak and disappoint this year but 2010 by far has been one of my best years.

I undoubtedly and graciously thank my Heavenly Father for giving me peace, comfort and happiness. Without him I have no idea where I'd be.
 
Lord, your word is true - In the presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy!

In this season thank you for telling me to put on the garment of praise and the oil of joy. What used to bother me no longer affects me.
Thank you Lord for lifting up my head.:heart2:
Psalm 24:7-10
Lift up your heads, O you gates!
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
The LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates!
Lift up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of hosts,
He is the King of glory.
 
Lord, thank you for being the 'Music' in my heart, that brings me to Dance. :reddancer:


I love your melodies, Jesus...Most of all, I love you. :love3:
 
Doesn't matter the personalities, the troubles of the hearts, the pain, when we come into Your Presence in assembly all this stuff is insignificant, because there is only One Praise, waved in Your Honor. You don't see 'us', you see Your Son, in whom You are well pleased.

Father, may our Fragrance please Your Heart today... Hallelujah [I love this song!]

:Rose:


Psalm 148
1 Praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD from the heavens;
praise him in the heights above.

2 Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his heavenly hosts.

3 Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars.

4 Praise him, you highest heavens
and you waters above the skies.

5 Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for at his command they were created,

6 and he established them for ever and ever—
he issued a decree that will never pass away.

7 Praise the LORD from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,

8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy winds that do his bidding,

9 you mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,

10 wild animals and all cattle,
small creatures and flying birds,

11 kings of the earth and all nations,
you princes and all rulers on earth,

12 young men and women,
old men and children.

13 Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for his name alone is exalted;
his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

14 And he has raised up for his people a horn,
the praise of all his faithful servants,
of Israel, the people close to his heart.

Praise the LORD!!
 
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

Lord, thank you for a renewed mind; thank you for shifting my focus. Let this mind be on Christ Jesus.

I lift up my hands in total praise and think on your goodness! You are my Advocate; Prince of Peace; mighty Deliverer; Healer; Restorer; and Provider! You deserve the praise!:clap:
 
God, thank you for helping to understand the information that I learned yesterday, I feel more confident for my final tomorrow.

Praise God!
 
Thank you God for being the God of ANOTHER chance.

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them ALL."(Psalm34:19)

Thank you God for my bailout plan. :yep:
 
Thank you Lord for protection and sustaining me another day.

Thank you for my transportation and favor among prospective employers.

Thank you Lord, for your grace and mercy toward me.
 

Lord, Who am I??

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours...

..and it's NOT because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are..

so I THANK YOU.
 
For those with blackberries, there's an app for the bible that offers various reading plans. I find it helpful because it highlights various parts of the bible that I might not go to on my own......And I can read it while I'm in line at the grocery store.
 
Jeremiah 1:5 and 29:11

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Lord, I thank you for your promise! It is written...:love3:
I'm glad that my life is in your hands. I'm not here by accident or by coincidence but with purpose! Thank you that I was on your mind since the beginning of time. You created me out of love and I give you praise!

Hallelujah!!!
 
I am thankful to have peace of mind. In the midst of uncertainty, I can still cast my cares on you. I sleep well every night and I am happy and singing all day. You are a wonder to my soul! :reddancer:
 
Father I praise your holy name! I was created to worship and I will praise you for the rest of my life.

Thank you God for being a fence around me. Thank you for opening doors that "they" thought they had closed!
 
Wow PinkPebbles, I love this thread. I know that I am a little late for this one, but please, may I still join in this effort. I love praising and worhipping our Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ.

He is the very breath that replenishes my soul, my body, my spirit. I am nothing without Him. I become undone in His presence, I diminish, He increases in me. I stand alone, in total awe of Him, He is my Audience of One.

May He take His place in the midst of all our praise and worship of Him and may He find upon these altars we have set for Him, a sweet smelling savor, pleasing and acceptable.

Come and establish Your throne oh Mighty King, on the altars of our hearts as we bathe You in our praise. My desire for You oh Lord is insatiable. Come Lord Jesus! Come!

Oh thank you so much for sharing what you are listening to Laela. I sooooo love this song. I cry almost everytime I listen to it because it brings ever so close to Jesus.

Again, thank you:kiss:

Welcome Aggie:hiya2: ...it's never too late to join!

Praise Him!
 
This is the day that the Lord has made, and I will be glad and rejoice in it!

I will not allow anything to hinder my praise!

Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell[a] in the house of the LORD
Forever.


Lord, thank you for leading and guiding me in all things. You are everywhere; all knowing; and all powerful!

When I look back over my life, you directed every step. The mistakes I made were learning lessons and growing pains. Yet, you were still there. Thank you for your loving arms and warm embrace. You deserve my praise!:heart2:
 
Nooo...nothing will hinder my praises today, PinkPebbles... I won't allow it

I thank God for guiding me this morning. I heard 'put air in your tire' and I didn't see that I needed to and I sure didn't want to go stop anywhere, but I pulled over at the QT. Maaan.. my right, front tire looked almost flat! :shocked: So I need to keep an eye on that tire.

I thank God the Father today simply for who He is -- El Elyon -- and I will continue to keep tuned in to Him by way of Praise...

Beautiful, beautiful thread! :Rose:
 
Father I bless your name! I love you b/c you first loved me. I know that I can take comfort in you Lord. Thank you for taking my burdens when I have become too weak to carry them.

I love you Lord!
 
Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!
Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works! —Psalm 105:1-2
 
Psalm 24 (Emphasis mine)

1 The Earth is the Lord's and the fullness of it, the world AND they who dwell in it.

2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the currents and the rivers.

3 Who shall go up into the mountain of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His Holy Place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted himself up to falsehood or to what is false, nor sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generation [description] of those who seek Him [who inquire of and for Him and of necessity require Him], who seek Your face, [O God of] Jacob. Selah [pause and think of that]!

7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be lifted up you age-abiding doors, that the King of Glory may come in.

8 Who is the King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; yes, lift them up, you age abiding doors, that the King of Glory may come in.

10 Who is [He then] this King of Glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of Glory. Selah [pause, and think of that]!

Lord, I thank you that regardless of what the enemy tries to steal from the Body of Christ, it ALL belongs to You, and the enemy CAN NOT SHUT US OUT OF WHAT IS OURS!!! Hallelujah! May the fire of the Spirit cleanse and purify us to receive our inheritance. AMEN.
 
The joy of the Lord is my strength...

It's easy to say something; but, until I really look at each Word, digest each Word... to see the value in what I say, it's just a cliche or catch-phrase. I'm glad to know Your Words are never cliche, Lord.

I'm most thankful to You for that gift of "JOY" that I get, even in the midst of turmoil, even when I don't get what I want or do see things the way I want to see it. That JOY gives me strength to be able to do Your Will, from day to day, in spite of any situation. It will never lose its POWER. How cool is that?

I love you Lord!!! :love2:


Nehemiah 8:7–12

The Levites—Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan and Pelaiah—instructed the people in the Law while the people were standing there.

They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people understood what was being
read.

Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to them all, “This day is sacred to the Lord your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law.

Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

The Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Be still, for this is a sacred day. Do not grieve.”

Then all the people went away to eat and drink, to send portions of food and to celebrate with great joy, because they now understood the words that had been made known to them.

Isaiah 42:8-12
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.

Glory! Thank you Heavenly Father. There is Joy and Victory in You!

Lord, this joy and peace that I have can only come from You. The world did not give it, so the world cannot take it away.

Today, I sing from my heart and a praise dance unto you O, Lord!
