I will Praise You





Even in the midst of abundance, I will praise you

Even in the midst of struggles, I will praise you

Even in the midst of uncertainty, I will praise you

Even in the midst of pain, I will praise you

Even in the midst of doubt, I will praise you

Lord, in the midst of all areas of life, I praise you.  1 Peter 4:11 "...so that in ALL things God may be praised"...not some things, but ALL things.

I praise you for who you are - the risen son of God

I praise you for what you have done in my life

I praise you for the plans you have for me

I praise you for loving me unconditionally - for there are times I don't deserve it

I praise you when I have needs - for it teaches me to cling to you

I praise you for times of plenty - for it teaches me to give and to be thankful

I praise you when I am downtrodden - for it is then that you carry me

I want to praise you in ALL things, good or bad.

I want to be UNDIGNIFIED in my praise.  I raise my hands in surrender to your unfailing love and gracious mercies

Lord, you are worthy of so much more than I give, and today I surrender - arms open wide - and give you my all. 

I praise you in the storm

I praise you in the peace and calm after the winds have ravaged me.

I praise you through it all because in MY praise, it helps me to remember WHO YOU ARE:

            KING OF KINGS
            LORD OF LORDS
            EMMANUEL
            PRINCE OF PEACE
            ABBA FATHER
            ALPHA AND OMEGA
            COUNSELOR
            HOLY OF HOLY'S
            AUTHOR AND PERFECTER OF MY FAITH

Today I PRAISE you!
