Devotions about Prayer


PRAYER are connected with PRAISE

King David's Psalms are synonymous with "Praise the Lord"

Psalm 117:1–2 says, “Praise the LORD, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD.” 

Paul quotes this verse in Romans 15:8–13. Praising the Lord is certainly something all people should do. This should we a most important part of every Christian's way of life - every prayer life!

David's well known Praise Prayer in 1 Chronicles 29:10-20 (NIV)

10 David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,

“Praise be to you, Lord, the God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.

11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, 

for everything in heaven and earth is yours.

Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;  you are exalted as head over all.

12 Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things.

In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all.

13 Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.

14 “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand. 15 We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope. 16 Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you. 17 I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity. All these things I have given willingly and with honest intent. And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to you. 18 Lord, the God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel, keep these desires and thoughts in the hearts of your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to you. 19 And give my son Solomon the wholehearted devotion to keep your commands, statutes and decrees and to do everything to build the palatial structure for which I have provided.”

20 Then David said to the whole assembly, “Praise the Lord your God.” 

So they all praised the Lord, the God of their fathers; they bowed down, prostrating themselves before the Lord and the king.

The word "Praise" is mentioned 175 times in the NIV Bible.

So what does it mean to praise God?

In essence, to praise is to express adoration or approval. We praise the Lord for His traits, His works, and His character. Praise includes the acts of blessing, commending, honoring, thanking, celebrating, and rejoicing. We praise the Lord because He is worthy of all our praise. He is worthy of all adoration and approval.

Prayers from the Book of Revelation:

💥The Place of Prayers in Revelation.
Revelation 8:3‭-‬4 NET
Another angel holding a golden censer came and was stationed at the altar. A large amount of incense was given to him to offer up, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar that is before the throne. The smoke coming from the incense, along with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.

Prayers in Revelation
  • Take some time this week to pray some of the hymns in the book of Revelation listed here. 
  • Ask God to show you things you have not seen before. 
  • Ask Him to speak to your heart and bring you into “zoe”, life-giving revelation. 
  • Ask Him to cause the Word of God to burn within you as you journey through life. 
💥We need to be like the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders in Revelation 4:8b-11 who continually marveled at the awesome holiness and glory of God:
“Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.” Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: ‘You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.'”

Revelation 1:4-7 – A prayer to anticipate the second coming of Christ.
