"5 Meaningful Ways to Give Praise to Jesus in Your Daily Life"

So, when we go to church, we start with worship right? At least my church does lol. But in this blog post I am going to give you 5 meaningful ways to praise the Lord in your daily life. But before I do that, I want to pray for those who are going to read this blog.

Lord, you know why this person is reading this message and I want you Lord to bless them whatever they are going through and no matter the situation you are bigger than the circumstance. Lord, I ask that you bless them with peace, and strength to walk out whatever they are going through. In the name of Jesus; Amen!

Meaningful ways of praise:

1. Prayer, this is the most forgotten way of praise in my opinion, when we think of praise we think of music, and dancing but little do most of us know prayer is a huge part of worship and praise. Prayer is the biggest thing we have to do in our walk with Christ and we have to understand that prayer is the biggest thing in a Christians walk with God.

Philippians 4:6 NKJV " Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with Thanksgiving, let your requests be known to the Lord."

Prayer is the biggest thing we as Christians need to be doing for this nation and for our pastors and our families and for everyone we come in contact with and not in contact with.

2. Fasting, this is the setting away of things to put your soul focus on the Lord. Some will do fasting food, like a meal a day or social media and so much more. There are so many types of fasting and prayer times we can do, but I think the biggest thing we as a collective body of Christ can do is fast as a part of our way of worship and praise to the Father.

3. Singing, for some of us singing is a gift. Now me I can sing lol, and there are some out there who can really sing, like CECE Winans she can sing and so can Tasha Cobbs and a few others, but it doesn't matter if you can sing or not, Jesus loves to hear your singing and your praises so as a form of praise yes, singing would be among those and I am going to give scripture here to back that up.

Zephaniah 3:17 NKJV "The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."

See this is a form of worship, singing praises to the Lord is like a sweet fragrance to the Lord.

4. Devotional worship, how many of us in the morning or through the day or before we go to be, spend a few hours with the Lord, in a devo time? I know I do. When we spend time like that with him, it is like a replenishing or a stop at our spiritual gas station right there in our homes lol, I for my devo time, I turn on the worship music, and i grab my iPad, and bible and I sit, and I read and take notes and I think of how I can apply what I am reading in the bible to my daily life and what that may look like. I begin to worship the Lord there in my quiet time of solidarity and repentance. See devotional times are sacred in my family, it is a time where we all part for a few hours go in another room in my house or even outside, and we just spend the time we need to with the Lord and we forget about everything around us and what is going on in our lives, and we focus only on the Lord. My favorite devotional I am doing right now, is by Real talk Kim, and WOW! Y'all will have to search her name up she is amazing! But devotional is the best time you can have along with the others listed, but I think this random time with the Lord is the absolute best because we are not putting God on a time frame and only going to him when things get bad or when we want something!

5. Having Humility: Having Humility is a huge one in my opinion, for those who don't know the definition of humility, it means to be humble, and be low. And not the kind of low. I can say having Humility is something that all christians should have, going and presenting yourselves to the Lord, as wives present themselves to their husbands.

A good example of this is Colossians 3:12; "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, Humility, gentleness and patience.

This a huge part of worship and praise in my opinion. And I say this because you cannot worship and praise God with pride because therefore the provide you have in your heart you begin to think "I can do more than God." I am serious and the fact that I cannot be more serious about this is that Humility and pride are mere enemies, they just like fear cannot coincide with the Lord. I am going to tell you that the most important thing to do as a Christian, is humble yourself before the Lord and do so diligently. In my life I had a hard time with pride and being big headed, it was horrible and I never thought that I would have this issue till I did some self examination to see what it was that causing me not to have Humility before the Lord. I questioned my very vigor and state of spiritual being and relationship with God because I knew that I had some issues I as a christian needed to get right. So with that self examination I knew that I had to do some praying and fasting, and spend that one on one time with the Lord. So I did that and I now have Humility. And it was all because I did that self examination and found what needed to be fixed, and I know that as christians you can do the same if I can, you can.
