"Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul. 2 While I live I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being." Psalm 146:1-2 NKJV
The Psalmist here, is encouraging us to praise the Lord while we are still alive. This is the time to start praising Him on a daily basis, not just when we are in heaven. Today, Jesus deserves your praise so give it to Him from your soul - your mind, will and emotions. All the things that are negative and on your mind, cast them onto Jesus; make your will, His will and refuse to think of all the hurts that you have been through. This is a new day that Jesus woke you up to. A new day - a new start. Make it count.
The song writer Roy Jr Hicks wrote this praise song that we all know:
'Praise the name of Jesus, Praise the name of Jesus. He's my Rock, He's my Fortress, He's my Deliverer. in Him shall I trust. Praise the name of Jesus'

Just open your hearts to Jesus and praise and worship Him. Let the words of this song and the text above, be your template for pouring out your praise to Him. He is a good God - the only true God. Why not follow my prayer below:
'O Lord Jesus, we give You praise today. Thank you for this day; thank you that I am alive to share in this day, walking with You in harmony. Lord, where would I be without You. I remember the times when I came so close to death but, you were there beside me and lifted me up almost as if You were saying, "Not yet, it is not your time". Thank you Lord that even when I have been so rebellious and unworthy, You have declared me righteous and worthy of Your love. You have given me so much, thank you for those who love me and share my life, I am so grateful to You. But, more than anything, I thank you that You came into my life at just the right time. I will never forget that wonderful time. All the money in the world could not have made that time any better. You were there when I was broken, rejected and heading nowhere. Therefore, I take this moment to praise and worship You for being there for me when others have passed me by. You are the one that I praise and honour this morning. You are the one that I offer my life, love and all I have.
Thank you Lord. Amen.'
Place this prayer in your bible if you wish or, write something from your heart and use it to thank Jesus with. Jesus will never stop loving you, no matter what. He is the Wonderful Counsellor, the Prince of Peace and the Risen King of kings. Amen?
If you don't know Jesus or have fell away, here is a prayer for you:
'Lord Jesus, I have sinned and I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.
In Jesus' Name. Amen'
