This thread is devoted to the praise and adoration of God. This includes sharing answered prayers, miraculous experience, and words of praise. As with the Prayers and Concerns thread, please only post praises here; no discussions or chatting.
Praise the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD .

You are so welcome, TC. I didn't think this category was complete without it.
Last night I read a few psalms - 51, 103, and 145. I am awestruck by the mercy and forgiveness of God, whose grace is greater than all my sin. To think that He freely offers forgiveness for the very acts that nailed Jesus to the cross . . . unbelievable.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget none of His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases . . .
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
For thou, O Lord, art a shield about me;
Thou art my glory and the lifter of my head.
My strength and my honor depend upon you -
Lord of Life and Light hath come -
To him be glory and power and dominion forever.
Timely words are treasures,
Gems in the hand of the Invisible;
A well-placed word is Godsent,
Hidden blessing from Him Wise.
Praise Him!
Just imagine, the most powerful, beautiful, holy, and glorious being in existence, the owner of the universe,
chose us, sinful, wallowing in our own vile deeds.
And, to take it further, He washed away our evil with His own blood!
That is love.
That is holy.
We are so unworthy of the gift we are given!
I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
Pslam 7:17
from Fraces Roberts book Come Away My Beloved
Rejoice ALWAYS, said the Apostle Paul-and again I say REJOICE.
Let your stability be apparent to all, for truly, the coming of the Lord is near.
Prepare yourselves, and be strong; for it is the Lord who upholds you and He it is who gives you the victory.
SING, MY CHILDREN, and let the shout of praise be heard:
For the Lord is mighty, and His Name is glorious.
thank You True Lord Jesus of bringing me through today and blessing me admist the storms.
God is just such an awesome God that He cares for things we would think was stupid. I had broken my nose at church in a drama (of which i was a demon) and got prayed for. i went to the hospital and took an x-ray. it came back perfectly healed!! i couldnt believe it. i had many witnesses that saw and felt it broken. if God can heal a nose, He can do anything for anyone. He is an AWESOME God !!
God, I LOVE YOU, I love you soooooooo much, thank You for blessing me with the money I need, I ADORE You, I know that you will stay with me up north and I will praise You everyday, I love You
Amen
Lord I praise You with the shofar. The sounds that come from it are so mighty and so strong.
And my body is so weak and so fragile.
Let that remind me that it is You who lives in me, strong and mighty
and that in my weakness You are made strong
and that even though all appears lost and impossible, that I am of no use...
that Your mighty war cry can come from my lips.
That I am always useful to You..and I continue to present myself to You and for You
to be used by You and Your glory.
I will continue to blow the shofar out of praise and battle.
To scatter the darkness and bring forth Your glory.
Thank You Jesus that Michal is OK and that You protected Him from further harm.
And thank You that You protect us in so many ways that we do not even see every day.
If we could only see....how many times You are protecting us during the day, we would stand in awe.
Praise You for this day and this morning.
Thank You for my tulips that are coming out.
My favorite flower that You blessed us with.
Your beautiful nature. The birds. How I love the songs they sing...(tho at 2am? Lord? that mockingbird can go find a new nest)
ANYWAY....thank You Lord....I love You.
Help me to continue to praise You on my sickbed.
I know I ask this alot....but I want to continue to praise You throughout it all.
I love You Lord.
I want to feel Your prescence more and more.

Being restrained to an altar by evil men, the feelings of terror, pain and degradation cannot be escaped.
Until I am able to come face to face with this pain one day, many years later.
There...my Knight in Shining Armor is revealed to me.
As I face and walk through this memory once again..it is different.
This time, I can see the Truth.
He is this huge expanse of Light.
His body comes between mine and the evil men, like a shield protects one from the flames of a dragon.
My body is still there...but it is the Shield that is taking the brunt of the pain.
I no longer SEE the pleasure and hate on the faces of the men as they strip away innocence and violate one of His beloved children. Me.
All I can see is His face. Full of compassion and love. With eyes that sparkle like diamonds.
I no longer HEAR the digusting, lustful noises of the evil men as they revel in the vileness.
I only hear the sweet sound of my Savior, singing His love song to me. As a parent sings a lullably to their child.
I no longer SMELL the stench of sweat and other bodily fluids, filling my nostrils with disgust.
I can only smell the sweet inscence of the Holy Spirit. Burning away all the impurities being poured out upon me.
I no longer FEEL the excruciating pain inflicted upon me by these evil men. Pain that I thought would never end, even long after the event.
Now, I only feel the healing balm placed upon me by my Healer. It forever soothes my soul and heals the wounds.
I no longer TASTE the repulsiveness and disgust shoved into my mouth. Pure evil meant to degrade and humiliate.
I only taste the clean and lovely and Living Water given to me by my Love. The water cleanses me to the depths of my being. Ridding me of all my shame, guilt, fear, hopelessness, and all other trappings of the Enemy.
My Knight in Shining Armor was there, and always has been and always will be. He showed me this today.
My Savior, Jesus Christ as He promises in His word "will never leave nor forsake me"
Hebrews 13:5-6
For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
So we may boldly say: "The Lord is my Helper; I will not fear, what can man do to me?"
This may sound silly, but praise God for frogs. There were finally peepers chiping last night, and they brought so much joy to my soul. I almost woke the whole family up at 2:00am to let them know the peepers were out.
Praise God for green grass, and the leaves that are just starting to come out.
Praise Him for the birds as they gather things for their nests and sing their songs.
Praise the Lord for the sun that is shining this morning.
Praise Him for springs that are finally coming out of the ground.
I praise you, Lord, for the warmth, the breeze, the rain.
I thank you for this season.
