GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE
My Mom passed in 2009, and before she died, she asked that family and friends talk about heaven with her and all that was awaiting her in eternity. She loved to think about, imagine, and anticipate her new body and glorious home with her Heavenly Father.
Not a day goes by that I don't envision what it must be like for Mom in heaven. Imagine how God's name is hallowed (holy, sacred, revered) in heaven. Angelic beings hail “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory” (Isa 6:3). “Day and night they never cease to say, ‘Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come." This is the scene in heaven.
Never-ending worship! When I pray "Hallowed be Your Name," I'm joining my voice in reverence with the angelic hosts of heaven to honor God. As I freely choose to worship Father God, He comes close, drawing me to His heart to receive my worship and thanks.“The Lord is close to all who call on Him” (Ps145:18a). For me, speaking out my gratitude is how I’ve learned to connect with my Heavenly Father’s heart and to hear His voice speaking to my spirit.
As you pray and fast today, consider all the many things you have to be grateful for. Count your blessings. Yes, the big ones, but also those little, tiny ones you rarely consider. Our God is a GOOD, GOOD Father! Lift your voice in worship and honor for God Almighty. Give praise for the gift of salvation we have in our Lord Jesus. Give thanks for the Holy Spirit, our Advocate, and the one who reminds us of Jesus' words. Feast your soul on the goodness of God!
In heaven, God is honored and adored in unceasing worship. Living on earth, how would your relationship with God change if you dedicated time in your days to give Him your honor, praise, gratitude, and devotion?“ Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His Name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness” (Ps 29:2).
God is worthy of our worship!

"One day, Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, 'Lord, teach us to pray.'” Luke 11:1 “Lord, teach us to pray” is a powerful five-word prayer and the focus of our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. Join us as we learn how Jesus answered this prayer for his disciples and for us. Pray these five words.
