O my soul, bless GOD.
From head to toe, I’ll bless his holy name!
1 PETER 1:3 (CEB)
May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be blessed! On account of his vast mercy, he has given us new birth. You have been born anew into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Bless our generous God, for he is most worthy of everything we've got.
DAILY FODDER
How do you bless God?
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for the eternal living hope that we've received through the resurrection of Christ Jesus from the dead. You are worthy of all recognition and honor—indeed the entirety of our lives. Yet, so much of the time our worship is half-hearted—dependent on whether we like the music or the preacher or the donuts. Help us to shift the focus from our preferences so that we can bless you with every ounce of energy that inhabits our souls. You deserve nothing less. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen
