Lift Off: Seeking What Is Above Through The Psalms Of AscentSample
Set Up For Success
Praise and prayer are a foundational part of faith. David wrote this psalm for the people to sing when they were going up to the holy feasts at Jerusalem. It was sung as they entered the gates to remind them of God’s faithfulness. In the same way, when we cultivate our awareness of God’s work in our lives it directly influences our ability to praise Him. When we praise God, it establishes His presence in us and empowers our prayers. Who can you pray for today?
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing praises to God, while the other prisoners listened. Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the jail to its foundations. The doors opened, and the chains fell from all the prisoners.
— Acts 16:25-26 CEV
Prayer: Jesus, thank You for how You’ve delivered me and where You’ve brought me. I know that You’ve placed me here to make a difference and I praise You because I know You are establishing my steps. Use me today to help others see Your life in me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
