Prayer without praise



Lets' admit it, our prayer life is mostly made up of us asking for things, praying for miracles and prayers of healing. Here and there it might include a sprinkle of repentance and dash of thanksgiving. But where is the praise? Where is the selfless devotion? A time where all we do is give God praise. The praise that he deserves for what he has done, is doing and will do. The praise for not just in the ups but also in the down. The praise not when we've just received our answer but also when we're unsure. We love to give people praise and receive praise for mediocore acts. How much more does our God deserve praise. Not only for the extravagant but also for the miniscule, not only for the supernatural but also for the natural. Give him praise for it all. Give him praise because he is the alpha and omega and without him we are nothing.


To give praise means to give glory.
