We Lift Our Hands in Praise
On this Glorious Morning, Lord,
We lift our hands to Glory
With Heartfelt Thanks and Praise!
We lift our hands to Glory,
Grateful for the light
Of a brand-new day.
We lift our hands to Glory,
And bow our heads in Grace.
Your Mercy is what we seek, Lord,
Your Forgiveness we earnestly crave.
We yearn for your ever-present Love.
Here and now, in this place.
With our hearts wide open,
Your gentle love, we humbly embrace.
For all your Glories,
You are worthy of all Worship and Praise.
We lift our hands to Glory, Lord,
Celebrating your Majestic and Perfect Ways.

"Lord, you are my creator; my joy is to praise you in all I do."
Let Us Extol Him
Imagine God's gentle guidance,
Leading us along life's path,
Preordained well before its time,
Masterfully crafted and designed.
We should acknowledge
That we exist under God's dominion,
And in His choosing, we are one out of millions.
We’re on borrowed time that is not our own,
And when our journey ends,
God says it’s finished, it's time to come home.
No matter the happiness or challenges
We encounter each day,
We ought to be grateful for
God’s compassion, His mercy, and His grace.
Let us extol Him
For the life we get to live each day,
For the courage bestowed upon us
To endure this journey,
And for the might of His sacred name, JESUS.

Where You Are ........

Where you are my Lord I yearn to be.
My visualization can't begin to touch the surface of such heavenly peace.
Where you lay awake at heaven's gate.
Where you rest amidst the sky.
Where you soar far above the stars.
Where the mention of your name causes thundering roars.
Where open arms await me and your hands of passion are ready to steady my wearisome feet.
Where you are Lord, I yearn to be.
Here with you is my home and here with you is where I belong.
Here with you Lord, I am not alone.
Here with you, my smile comes to life, and bitterness and strife have no fight.
Here with you, yesterday's sorrows become joy for tomorrow.
Here, the pureness of your presence shines brightly without electrical lights.
Here, day and night blend as one, and your childlike glow as the radiant sun.
Here, your laughter is heard aloud above the clouds.
I Lord, am as a humble child, simply in awe of your dazzling smile.
Through your blazing eyes, I can see life eternally just as it was destined to be.
I am a beholder of your love and stand complete as a testament to thee.
You are the one that I adore and your love is with me forevermore.
I have faith that one day others will know you as I do.
And without reservation, share this God-given truth.
Where you are Lord I yearn to be.
Where you are Lord is my Eternity.......

"Stay alert and maintain a continuous connection with God through Prayer and Praise."
Today I Praise
Bless this day. Lord, I pray.
As the night falls away, morning takes its place.
I honor you with thanksgiving and praise.
I honor you with my presence always.
Oh, Lord, let my prayer be acceptable unto you this day.
Look into my heart, oh Lord, for authentication of praise.
Weigh my heart, Lord, against the words that I say.
And if you find in my heart a discrepancy.
Your mercy and forgiveness I then seek.
Unhesitatingly, I step onto the stage with each new day.
And I enact the script you've penned for my life's daily page.
Not through my strength alone, but through your spirit do I obey.
You set the scene, Lord; an open book am I, wherein you turn the page.
My existence is sustained solely by your gentle mercy and grace.
Every word that escapes these lips of mine is sung in your praise.
Each act of goodwill or kindness I demonstrate today.
It's for you, Lord, that I do it with grace.
To honor you, Lord, to exalt your name with praise.

Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. Psalm 150:6
Power Over My Enemy
I live in the power of the Almighty King,
In the name of Jesus.
I speak against satan, my enemy.
You are powerless against me!
Your pebbles and stones cannot harm me.
Only! If I allow you into my head space, you can deceive me.
My disbelief will be my only downfall or defeat.
You forgot the promise of God to His chosen ones.
That is, Jesus Christ himself will be the Chief Cornerstone.
He is the source of my hope in times of need.
The foundation of my unwavering belief.
When I bend my knees in prayer, he is there with me.
He is the answer to all things, whether problematic or free.
I celebrate His authority and the independence it provides me.
Because I live in the power of the Almighty King,
I stand tall against the enemy.
I condemned him as powerless against me.
For I am a child of the living King.

The Blessing
"Love For Life"
Life as we know it begins in such an amazing way. Planted as a seed and watered by Him every day.
Like so, the trees. We walk by them all the time but never stop to hear what they are trying to say.
We have so much in common and were both put here to stay, but we must go through the seasons all in the same way. The trees take root and grow as we do, and when seasons change it brings about something new.
Along with that change comes something we both must do; stand strong and tall and know who is holding you.
Love and care are what we both need to become who He created us to be.
Learning every day that what we need He consistently lays at our feet.
The trunk given to them represents the bone structure given to us and looking unto him brings about that unwavering power to trust.
Trust that in and out of season He gave us exactly what we needed and to some, It happens fast, because just like many trees; we were built to last! After the greatest storms in life and things that come along to teach us a lesson, we rise the very next day and discover that we have been given yet another Blessing.

ONE MOMENT WITH GOD
1 Chronicles 16:11 - Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually!
I took a moment today to fully appreciate the beauty of God's creation.
Every intricate detail, from the gentle touch of the sun's rays to the coolness of the air I breathe.
The chirping of the birds, the crawling of the creatures, and the vegetation
springing from the earth's deep is a perfect reminder of His love for me.
I am amazed by the captivating beauty of the morning dew that rests atop the grass.
The power of the human mind which thinks about the future,
lives in the present, and remembers the past.
This is just one example of God's magnificent creation and design.
Compelled by this realization,
I raised my eyes heavenward and gave praise aloud to our most holy divine.
I gave thanks for the wondrous things I see both spiritually and naturally.
The joy and happiness surrounding me and the serenity that keeps me in perfect peace.
After reflecting, I paused to appreciate the wonder of it all
and expressed my gratitude for answering God's call.
Behold the magnificence of Your creation, O Lord.
Forever shall I worship and praise You, my King and my guide.
What greater love is there than to sacrifice your Son for the life of mankind?
Thank you, Lord, for this defining moment in time.
One moment in your presence, I'll do it over a thousand times.

My Little Note of Praise
Wake up! Praise ye the Lord!
Give Him thanks with a Hallelujah praise
Wake up and speak out loud His Holy name
Give God thanks for another sunset day
Thank Him for supplying all your needs
Thank Him for your mobility and energy
Thank Him for the ability to share a smile or sow a positive seed
Thank Him for the feet that carry you from place to place
It would not be possible without His amazing grace
Thank Him for the forgiveness of your daily sins
Thank Him for every battle you claimed as a win
Thank Him for each obstacle you climbed in victory
Thank Him for His hand of protection that kept you safe and free
Thank you, God, for the voice that speaks your son's name
Thank you for the mindset to give you praise
Thank you for this blessed opportunity to say thank you once again......
