We often wait for God to answer our prayers to start thanking the Lord. But if we really believe that God has heard our prayers and if we trust God to answer us at the right time, then why don’t we start thanking God right away?
God loves a heart filled with gratitude and lips full of thanksgiving and praises to His Name.
And through him let us offer sacrifices of praise always to God, which is the fruit of the lips giving thanks to his name. (Hebrews 13: 15)
As we draw near the Holy of holies, let us continually offer praises to the Lord.
When you worship the Lord, what comes to your mind? Thoughts of love, praises and thanksgiving? Do you love the Lord so much that you can’t wait to express your gratitude towards Him? Pour out your mind, say
Thank you, Jesus. You are great. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for hearing my prayers, and so on. Don’t stop. Keep praising Him.
Convert your worries, anxieties, concerns, complaints into thanksgiving and praises. For example, if you have lost your job, still you can praise Him, but how? Let me show you an example.
Say, Lord, I lost my job, but I know that in the end, you will turn all things for my good. I am thankful to you for helping me to work and earn in the past months and years. Thank you for giving me a small break before getting into a new job. Thank you for providing enough time now so that I can use this time to study Your Word and pray. Thank you for giving me time to focus on improving myself. Thank you for allowing me to experience the pain of losing the job and empathize with thousands who lost their job. I trust you that you will not close a door without opening another better door for me.
Don’t you think, God will be much pleased with you when your prayers are filled with hope, faith and trust?
Let us pray.
Father, in Jesus’ Name we come near your presence. We thank you and praise you. We trust that you do all things for our good. We love you. We give you all glory, honour and praise. In Jesus’ Name, we pray amen.
We have learned today on the third step into the holy of holies. In the next episode, we will learn of the blessings we will receive as we confess, worship and praise God in the holy of holies.
