A word on Praise and Prayer.<br />
“Is anyone among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merry? Let him<br />
sing psalms.”<br />
James 5:13<br />
A Praise is a way to express warm approval or admiration for<br />
someone or something. A prayer is defined as a request for help or<br />
an expression of thanks as we address our Lord.<br />
A prayer is how we communicate with Jesus. Through prayer<br />
we can tell him what ails us, ask for help with any issues we have at<br />
hand, and most of all thank him for He has done, he is doing and will<br />
do not only for us but for the world.<br />
Ways to praise the Lord.<br />
We praise by singing gospels, by reading his word and<br />
meditating on it, by saying thanks before each meal, by giving him<br />
thanks. Imagine thanking the Lord for waking you each morning,<br />
guarding your soul as you sleep, saying grace over each meal,<br />
thanking him for guiding you to and from home as you travel to<br />
work…ready? Guess what? You just praised him a total of maybe 7<br />
times in one day! And it takes but 2 seconds to say Hallelujah! Thank<br />
you Lord, Praise be your name. The Bible tells us in Psalms 119:164<br />
“Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous<br />
judgements.” Be encouraged to pray for whatever afflictions you are<br />
going through and praise him throughout the day no matter what<br />
you go through and believe that the Lord does hear you and he will<br />
fight your battles for you.<br />
