Dear Heavenly Father, I want to take today to praise You. You have worth beyond what I can comprehend. You created everything and sustain all of it. You are amazing. Thank You for loving humanity despite our unworthiness. I praise Your name even more.
I praise this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.



Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for providing Jesus. Holy God coming in the form of man, providing what we need to spend eternity with You. I am in awe of the miracle of a virgin birth so that God could be with us. Your love is beyond comprehension. Please help us to have the appropriate awe and thankfulness for this wonderful gift.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.


I have spent a lot of time thinking about Jesus’ example prayer. A few years ago I did several blog posts on the different portions of that prayer. One of my areas of struggle is trying to think through today’s application of Jesus’ prayer. He didn’t want us to continually pray His prayer verbatim. So for a time I want to look at specific ways to praise God.
The first part of Jesus’ prayer says, “Our Father in Heaven, Holy is Your name.” God’s holiness is an amazing character trait. Today’s verse in Revelation talks about God’s worthiness. In this case we read about God being the reason for the existence of all things. God deserves “to receive glory and honor and power”. I want to praise God for His worth.
Dear Heavenly Father, You are worthy for more glory than I can give. Please accept my small voice of praise for being the reason we all “exist and were created”. Thank You for the examples and prompts for how to pray and praise You.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.


Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. We are now “officially” in the Christmas season. I want to write about the truth of Christmas.
Humanity is on a path of animosity towards God. We seem to think we are worthy of worship. I don’t believe we are. I believe God is clearly worthy of worship. If you don’t believe that, please find out Who God truly is. Today’s verses talk about some of the benefits of God’s worthiness. God lavishes goodness on mankind.
Other passages tell us that He sent His Son, Jesus, to be born as a baby, grow to adulthood and die a horrible death on a cross. He rose from the dead to show triumph over the consequence of sin (death). This results in the gift of salvation. God has made this gift available to all. Have you accepted this gift? If you haven’t, will you today?
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the many ways You show Your steadfast love. Please help us to see Your worthiness.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.

Today I just want to praise God. He is worthy of praise.
Dear Heavenly Father, You have done so many wonderful things. Your character is perfect. I am in awe and filled with joy. Thank You for sending Jesus so I can have a relationship with You.
I praise this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
