Praising God
Why do we praise God? Our passage today begins with the phrase ‘Praise the Lord.’ All throughout the psalms we see this phrase. On a Sunday and a Friday night at youth group we also praise God in the form of singing at the beginning and end of every service. The answer to why we praise the Lord is potentially endless, but this psalm gives us a great start. We see that God is worthy of worship because of who He is and because of His great works.
Praising God is not restricted to times of public gathering. We can praise God when we’re alone, even whilst we are going about our day. It could be as simple as thanking God for what you are doing in the moment. As we begin to praise God in any and every situation, we will see that our heart becomes more attuned to the reality that God is worthy of praise for all good things, big and small.

About this Plan
The Psalms express the feelings and emotions that sometimes we find too hard to express to God by ourselves. Through diving into the Psalms and their different forms , the aim is that readers can lead prayer-filled lives, crying out, praising and worshipping our God through every season and in every moment.
