pray for the presence of God – praise creates an atmosphere where He can work in our circumstances.

Message: When you enter His Presence with praise, you invite the Divine into your life. This simple yet profound truth reminds us of the power of worship and gratitude. Praise is not just a response to what God has done; it is also a way to open our hearts and minds to His presence. When we approach God with a spirit of gratitude, we create an atmosphere where He can work in our circumstances, bringing about transformation and healing. In times of trouble, praising God shifts our focus from our challenges to His greatness. It is in this place of worship that His power becomes evident in our lives. As we celebrate Him, we not only acknowledge His sovereignty but also experience His grace and might in our situations. Prayer: Heavenly Father, today we come before You with hearts full of praise and gratitude. We acknowledge that You are the Creator of the universe, the One who knows us intimately and loves us unconditionally. As we enter into Your presence, we thank You for Your infinite goodness and mercy. No matter what we face, we choose to lift our voices in adoration, recognizing that You are greater than any challenge we encounter. Lord, we ask that as we praise You, we create a space for Your presence to dwell among us. Help us to remember that our worship is not constrained by our circumstances but is a powerful declaration of our faith in Your ability to work all things together for good. We invite Your power into our lives, believing that You can intervene in the situations that weigh heavily on our hearts. May our praise become a constant reminder of how faithful You are. Help us to focus not on our struggles but on Your promises, knowing that when we seek You wholeheartedly, we will find You. We pray for strength and encouragement for those who feel overwhelmed, lonely, or lost. Let the sound of our gratitude echo in the heavens and bring about a shift in the atmosphere around us. Lord, let our praise be the catalyst that brings Your presence into the very fabric of our circumstances. We trust that You are at work in ways we cannot see. As we align our hearts with You, fill us with hope and joy. May our lives be a testament to Your transformative power, reflecting Your light in a world that desperately needs it. Thank You for the privilege of standing in Your presence, praising You for who You are and what You have done. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

  1. I think praise should always open every conversation with God. Carol May, my 48 year old son is in prison in Texas and he is doing a Bible study with his Dad now. He wants to learn more. Can you share some info about the lessons you provide for prisoners in your ministry? Thanks…
