Praise In the Presence of GodSample

Known Personally
God’s Word never suggests we are to live on secondhand experiences. I may be taught, cared for, and nourished by the help and counsel of others—my mentors as well as my peers—but the One who saved me for Himself, and has called me unto Himself, also desires to draw me closer to Himself.
He is the One who “knows my sitting down and my rising up,” who knows “the thoughts and intents” of my heart, who “knows each word before it is spoken from my lips” and who “numbers the hairs of my head.” God does more than take statistical notice of my existence. He desires to be personally involved with the details of my life—continually.

About this Plan

Pastor Jack Hayford points the way to the life-changing pathway of praise. No matter how you feel, praise will shape what your experiences will become. When doubts come, praise God that His Word will never fail you. When fears taunt, praise God that His presence never leaves you. When questions arise, praise God that His wisdom holds every answer. Praise leads you to the One who assures peace beyond strife, hope beyond trial, joy beyond sorrow, and life beyond all.
