I sat with my journal yesterday morning thanking God as well as laying out my prayer requests. When I began to recall a conversation I had earlier in the week with a man up at the school over the lunch hour. He and I both serve as YouthFriend's and we both were waiting on our lunch buddy to show up. Later after lunch we both were walking out of the school when he said, "I should have known that was your vehicle." The tag on my vehicle reads PRZNHIM and as done so for about 10 years now. We talked then about the hope we have in Christ and what would we be with out Him?
Honestly, I'm not sure that this man knew who I was, perhaps, perhaps not? But what I came away with was the fact that he knew I loved Jesus. WOW! What a great way to testify to the Goodness of Christ. A very good reason to praise Him, but honestly, we don't need a reason to turn our hearts and minds towards Him to praise Him. We do so totally out of having our heart set on His Faithfulness and loving Him because He first loved us.
I'm not sure what you are walking through today, but if you are anything like me this might be on your list as well:
awaiting test results
dysfunctional family
un-saved family members
heart-ache for friends that have lost a loved one recently due to death
concerns for friends walking through cancer
aging parents and their health concerns
your own health concerns
Yet with that being on my heart, I am choosing to Praise Him!!!
Father, I'm grateful this morning that I am able to place my concerns at the feet of Jesus. That I can praise You because You are my God. You alone deserve my praise and that my concerns are being taken care of. Not on my time frame, but Yours. That I can praise You in the parking lot at school as well as in my home. I absolutely love and adore THEE, Lord Jesus. Amen.
PRZNHIM at Higher Grounds,
Yolanda

Lord, I praise you this morning, as those test results for my dearest loved one, came back clean. I praise You!!!
I <3 this post my friend!! It is SO important to praise him...regardless of what we are facing and going through.
I often remind myself..that NOTHING I go through surprises my God. He's not sitting in heaven wringing his hands wondering what he's going to do.
But rather...he knows..and he's making a way for me.
Have a BLESSED day.
This post so connects with my heart Yolanda. Just about half an hour ago my husband and I made a fresh commitment to praise God despite our circumstances.
We've chosen to praise Him despite the fact that my husband has been out of work for about two years now and it seems like all doors are closed tightly.
We've chosen to praise Him despite the fact that it seems we have no where or no one else to turn to.
We've chosen to praise Him just because of who He is.
Thank you
have a blessed day

PRZNHIM with you on those test reulsts. Much prayed for and much rejoicing!
Love this post, sweet Yolanda.
You are my heart,

Yolanda,
Your precious face gives away the fact that you are a Jesus girl and praising Him is something that flows out of that.
Love you, friend,
Leah
Yolanda, it isn't hard to see that Christ resides in you! Everything you write points others to Him. And He shows through in your sweet smile.
Praising Him with you for the good test results.

I love this message today! I think of a song that says "It's amazing what praising can do!" And it's so true!
I also love that you have that on you vehicle tag! Awesome! I'd be tempted to try and get one like that myself in Mississippi but I have the "Choose Life" tag which gives money to our pregnancy center.
Hope you have a great weekend!
Love ya!
Marilyn
Indeed, PRAISE HIM for the good test results :)
Just read this verse this morning :
Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is the fruit of our lips that acknowledge his name. Heb. 13: 15
Thanks for being an example of this verse!!
