The Voice That Thunders

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights! Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts! Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all stars of light! Praise Him, highest heavens, And the waters that are above the heavens! Let them praise the name of the Lord, For He commanded and they were created.  He has also established them forever and ever; He has made a decree which will not pass away. Praise the Lord from the earth, Sea monsters and all deeps; Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word; Mountains and all hills; Fruit trees and all cedars; Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and winged fowl; Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth; Both young men and virgins; Old men and children. Let them praise the name of the Lord, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above earth and heaven. And He has lifted up a horn for His people, Praise for all His godly ones; Even for the sons of Israel, a people near to Him. Praise the Lord! Psalms 148:1-14 NASB

Thank You God, we pause in Your presence. Yes Lord, we give You all the honor, all the glory. You are the rescuer of our souls and Your grace is known to us. We need You. We trust You. We love You. We are grateful to You for all things. You are the voice that thunders from the heavens even in the midst of our sufferings.  We praise Your name on the sun blazing mountain tops and in the muddy valleys trusting You are the light that leads us. You, King of the heavens and the earth hold each of us in the palm of Your hand. Hallelujah!  Your kingdom shall have no end!  We lay our lives out before You. Have Your way. Yes Lord, thank You for inviting us to humble ourselves before You in prayer. We cry out for Your forgiveness, show us what Your word reveals about what is important to Your heart and give us courage and knowledge to turn from the things that break Your heart.   We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
