{Psalm 145:1-3; ESV}
I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever.
Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for life! I am overwhelmed by the generosity of Your blessings. Continue to open my eyes to the work You are doing in the world around me and to the blessings You have graciously given me.
Lord, I come to You and ask that You teach me to worship in spirit and truth. The Gospels record how the disciples came to Jesus and asked him to teach them how to pray. They wanted to pray with the same passion, genuineness, and effectiveness that Jesus had when he prayed.
That is how I feel about worship. I don't think I worship very well, and I desire to worship You with passion, with love, with truth, and with integrity. I want my praise to be authentic and heartfelt, and I want it to point people to You.
Give me 10,000 reasons to praise Your name, and guide my worship so it is directed to You alone. It is in the name of Jesus I pray, amen.
