PRAYER

God of my praise, I adore You with all that I am. Your beauty captivates my heart, and Your loving gaze melts my pride. You are worthy of my utmost devotion.

Thank You for filling me with unspeakable joy and deep satisfaction when I offer You my heartfelt praises. Thank You for every divine encounter that makes me thirst for more of You.

Forgive me when I give You half-hearted, distracted, or convenient worship. Forgive me when impure motives taint my worship or when it is weather-dependent.

Teach me to worship You in spirit and truth. Only You can make me the true worshipper You are looking for.

Because You are the God of My Praise, I declare I am created to offer You ceaseless worship from the core of my being, my lifelong response to Your unchanging greatness.

A FEW FACTS…

• When David in Psalm 109 called God Elohei Tehillati (אֱלֹהֵי תְהִלָּתִי), meaning "God of my praise“, it was an expression of his desperate cry for deliverance from his adversaries. David consistently referred to God by this title, even in times when God seemed silent when he faced unjust accusations, and when people repaid his good deeds with evil.
• The Hebrew word tehillati (תְהִלָּתִי) originates from the root halal (הַלְלֵֽי), which conveys the meaning of "praise" and connotes a deep sense of gratitude. Similarly, the term Hallelujah (Hallelu Yah) is also derived from the Hebrew root halal and carries the significance of "praise Yahweh" or "praise the Lord. Hallelu means "praise," while Yah is a shortened form of "Yahweh."
• In Hebrew, the Book of Psalms is known as Tehillim (תְהִלִּים) which translates to "praises" or "songs of praise".
