With All My Heart

 

1 I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart;
   I will tell of all your wonders.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you;
   I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

—The words from King David in Psalm 9:1-2

 

Giving praise to God—that’s the answer to almost every problem in life. King David has certainly given us a godly example in the Scripture passage at the beginning of this blog post. Whenever we find ourselves mired down in the circumstances of life, we can praise God for His goodness, mercy, grace, and love.

Nearly forty years ago, Max and Lucy Mace and the Heritage Singers recorded a song of praise that clearly expresses the confidence we can place in the loving God who patiently waits to receive our praise. Please click here to listen to this song.

Today, let’s lift our voices in praise to God. He surely is worthy of our praise.

Will you pray with me?

Thank You, God, for loving us. Thank You for sending Jesus to be our Savior. Thank You for sending us Your Holy Spirit to dwell within us.

Precious Father, You have filled our hearts with Your love. Therefore, our hearts burst forth with praise. You are our God. You are our Lord. With hearts, and souls, and voices we praise Your precious and holy name!

We thank You, Precious Father, that you have given us minds and hearts and voices to praise You. May our offering of praise rise to You as a sweet smelling incense. May the angels that surround Your throne echo a chorus of our praise to You. Thank You for hearing our praise and our prayer in and through the precious Name of Your Son, our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
