PRAYING GOD'S WILL | PRAISE (3)

1. Praying God's Will

a) What should you pray for? Scripture is clear that you should pray God's word. At the same time, you must never forget that God is sovereign and that He is not obligated to a name-it-and-claim-it theology. God will always do what is best. But at the same time you will do well to understand that when you pray God's word, you are actually praying both the mind and the perfect will of God for yourself.

b) If you follow a systematic plan of praying God's will, you will see dynamic growth take place in your life. You will become the man God intended you to be.

2. Praise

a) Heavenly Father, we were created to praise You. Through the praying of Your word I petition You to put into my heart a consistent desire to praise You at all times. These words of Yours are my prayers in Jesus' name. Amen.

3. God's Word

a) Psalm 71:14 New King James Version (NKJV)

14 But I will hope continually,
And will praise You yet more and more.

b) Psalm 100:4 New King James Version (NKJV)

4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

c) 1 Chronicles 16:25 New King James Version (NKJV)

25 For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised;
He is also to be feared above all gods.

d) Exodus 15:2 New King James Version (NKJV)

2 The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation;
He is my God, and I will praise Him;
My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
