After an incredible time in study this morning, I just had to break our typical format today. As I poured over the scriptures quoted in our church’s sermon this week, I found myself in a full on praise sesh! I took 2 pages of notes from multiple scripture passages and even raised my hands as I spoke back to God the things I read about Him. So I decided to share some of it with you. The scriptures are too many to quote word for word, so I will list the references below.
Colossians 1:18, Ephesians 1:20-23, Ephesians 3:6, Colossians 2:18-19, Zechariah 3:1-4 and Galatians 2:20
Look up and study these passages for yourself (have your own little bible study) or skip down below and praise God along with me. I love how the Bible challenges me to pray and praise in ways I wouldn’t think of on my own. The passages themselves, as well as the Believer’s Bible Commentary on them, inspired my words.
You are the beginning, the first born from the dead. You have first place in everything! Your body is glorified. You are unique and cannot be second anywhere.
Lord, You created everything. Because of who You are and what You’ve done, You reign supreme. In our lives, you have preeminence. You sit at the Father’s right hand. You rose and ascended!
God, you triumph over every form of opposition. Satan is defeated by your victorious power. You employ that power on our behalf. Your omnipotence is immense. Take us soon to be with you!
Your name is above all others and you’re superior to every other. King over all kings and Lord over all lords. All things remain under your feet. You have universal dominion.
Forgive us when we rebel, deny you and resist you. Forgive us. We are awestruck as we contemplate you, all-glorious Lord. Jesus, you have been given universal sway. And we, the church, get to share your rule. Your marvelous grace saves us and gives us the unique privilege of being your body. May we compliment you.
You permeate the universe and supply it with all it needs. This is too much for us to understand, but we admire you. Thank you for including us as heirs of your promise.
We get to draw from your exhaustless resources for our needs. You sustain us and direct us. May false teachers never lead us away.
Moment by moment we depend on you. You take our iniquity away from us. You love me and live in me. It’s too much! The old me has no more claims on my daily life. You live your life in me. Praise you, Lord!
Praying for you in this. And don’t forget to share this on social media or with a friend who could benefit. It would mean so much to me. And if you don’t want to miss a Praying God’s Word Wednesday, subscribe over on the right hand side of this page.
Praising God for His relentless kindness to us!
Blessings,

Thank you, Lord.
Our Lord is generous and pours over us his forgiveness and blessings moment by moment. Praise you Lord!
Yes, thank you, Lord.
I’m writing up a post now on God’s strength to us and His provision. I love the scriptures and truths here as they coincide with what I’m studying! God continues to work His redemption in our lives and in the world. John 5:17. Praise God for He is active in our lives!
Praise the Lord! I look forward to reading your post!
Amen! Praise God for His miraculous provision that He sends our way. He showed us that just this week in an amazing way, so I am joining you in praise today!
He will supply all we need. Amen!
Amen! and Amen! Praise God who not only rules over creation but loves each of His children and knows their hearts and needs and everything inbetween!
What great praises to add, Maryleigh! Thank you, God, for knowing us!
Oh Lord, you have searched me and known me! You hem me in , behind and before, and lay your hand on me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me . . . I will praise you with my whole heart.
Praise Him, who knows us so well, with our whole hearts!
Such joy to God’s ears when He hears His children praising Him! What an awesome party!
Thanks, Lisa. Thinking about praising Him as a weapon against my enemy has recently reinvigorated my praise.
Praise God that he is both sovereign and good!
Yes! Praise Him!
Lauren, thanks so much for sharing your prayer process and your beautiful words!
