Where You Lead

Time To Praise

It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night.

Psalm 92:1-2

For quite some time now, I’ve been setting aside time each day to specifically pray. It’s true that I pray throughout the day – little prayers, quick prayers – but I’ve also made a habit of praying every morning when I wake up and every evening before I sleep. But what do I pray about?

My typical morning prayer is a plea to God to keep me and those I love safe this day. I pray for special things I know will be happening and for God’s guidance and safety. At night I pray that tomorrow will good and then I throw in a quick thank You for prayers that were answered.

And all that sounds like a monologue from one very spoiled child.

I know that God wants me to be happy and to prosper. God wants all good things for His children. God also wants His children – us – to praise Him. I do great in the praying and asking for stuff department but I’m failing miserably in praise for my Heavenly Father.

God has given so me so much already that the fact that I’ve neglected to praise Him is a point of shame. From this day forward, I intend to praise Him each day for all that He is and all that He has already done for me.

Please join me in praising God and let me know how your day is different when you remember to give praise.
