1 Chronicles 29:10-13
David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,
"Praise be to you, O Lord, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting, Yours,O 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, O Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all, Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength to all. Now our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.


My friends, this prayer from David, is such a great example of how to honor our Lord through prayer. It is profound and truthful, it allows us to truly see and understand how to give to the Lord, and how to display our respect. All things are His, all things come from Him, and all things need to be given back to Him. I am trying to come back to a life of prayer, and a life of ultimate respect to God. These verses this prayer is a wonderful example of how to show these things to God. He is a God of wonders, a God of love, and a God of all things.

Father, we give you our love, we give you our praise, we give you our lives. Father forgive us for putting ourselves first, we tend to put last in prayers, to put ourselves first, Father forgive us. You are the first, the middle, and the end. Please give us the strength and the understanding to realize in our lives, that you are first and need to stay there, You are worthy of our praise.
We pray for all things in the name of Your son Jesus Christ, amen
