Bless The Lord At All Times
- Sis. Stella Dhinakaran
I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
(Psalm 34:10)
David was a man who had the experience of praising the Lord at all times. He sought God even while he was young. . Problems and burdens did come in His life. Yet, he went on praising and worshipping the Lord at all times. The situations and circumstances could not stop him from abiding in his God and praising Him. This made God take complete charge of his life. He set him up on a rock so that no one could hurt him. He gave him all honour and glory in his life and lifted him up. He saved him from his enemies in a wonderful way and honoured him (Psalm 124:6).
A daily wage earner lived a godly life and lived a life that pleased the Lord. He abided in God and would praise and thank Him always. Some people did not like this. They were against him and to some extent, they were jealous also. So, they troubled him in many ways with the intension to make him stop praising the Lord. But, this could not deter and discourage him. The more they opposed and gave him troubles, the more he praised and thanked the Lord. So, one day, they thrashed him and wounded him. Some good Samaritans took him and admitted him into a hospital. In the hospital instead of crying and groaning, he repeatedly said, “Thank You Lord Jesus! Thank You for saving my life!” Inspite of the pain and agony in his body, he remained in the presence of God and his lips continued to praise God. The Lord Who’s enthroned in the praises (Psalm 22:3), filled his room with His presence. The Lord who heals, gave him complete healing from his wounds (Exodus 15:26). Now, he began to praise and thank God more vigorously than before for the glory of the name of the Lord.
My dearly beloved! Many people in this world may try to trouble you and destroy you. But, as long as you have the praising lips, none can harm you. The psalmist David who always praised the Lord says, “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praises shall continually be in my mouth.” (Psalm 34:1)The Lord gave him victory over his enemies and blessed him. The offering of thanks and praises will bring the presence of God in your midst. This will save you and deliver you and give you victory (1 Corinthians 15:57).
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,
Give me Your grace to know how wonderful it is to praise You at all times. Help me to overcome my shortcomings and to go on praising You like the psalmist David. Lord, strengthen me in You and help me to do things that please You. Let Your goodness and mercy abound in my life. In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.
SICKNESS
All those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.
- Luke 4:40
Every one of us would have experienced the pain of being sick at one point of time or other. Sickness comes to us because of many reasons such as evil habits, hereditary problems, germs and viruses, deformity of organs and evil powers. But our Lord desires that all of us should be in good health (3 John 2).. So it is all the more important for us to look up to Him in prayer at such times of trouble so that we not only are healed of our physical weaknesses by Him, but become stable emotionally and also are made strong spiritually. So do not be anxious! Our hope lies in the solution for our sickness made by the Lord Jesus (Matthew 8:17; Isaiah 53:5). Join us in these prayers and receive the healing touch from the Master Creator!
MENTAL STRESS
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
- Matthew 11:28
"Swear hell would be a better place..." "Oh man! it feels so terrible...", "I feel so depressed and confused...". These are some of the most common parlances we hear in our day-to-day life, which are nothing but offshoots of mental stress. Difficult circumstances often lead to stress, and complaining is a natural response. In the pressure of the moment we are perplexed as what to do and where to run.
This is exactly where Prayers can do wonders! A small prayer not only releases our tension in times of emotional stress but reaffirms the faith we profess in Him. Trusting God to be our rock, salvation, and fortress will change our entire outlook on life. No longer must we be held captive by resentment toward others when they hurt us. The Lord Jesus has promised, "My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." When we are resting in God's strength, nothing can shake us. So join us in these prayers and get relived. May God bless you.
YOUTH PROBLEMS
Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth...
- Ecclesiastes 12:1
"How beautiful is Youth! how bright it gleans with its illusion, aspirations, dreams!" once said the great poet Longfellow.
Yes! Youth is all about big fantasies and dreams. But little do we realise in the exuberance of youth that the real success lies in transforming these dreams into reality. We tend to get carried away by lot of things which come our way and begin compromising on our dreams and ambitions. The winning formula is to remain focussed and to have our heart, mind and soul at peace with ourselves. Only the creator can enable us to have this inner peace and help us to be Victorious. So friends nothing is lost nor it is too late with God. Join us in these prayers and let us conquer new heights together with Him.
DESPERATION
God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
- Psalm 46:1
It pains, hurts and it even drowns us in the thought 'How could this ever happen?' And at times we even muster courage to question the Lord, and fail to realise that the Almighty is in perfect control. Patience and peace may all seem strange words in such circumstances. These are really the testing times for all the claim in Him and even our basic Faith. All we need to do is to cling on to Him and seek His grace. Our God is good and gracious He will definitely deliver and strengthen you, do not lose hope, say these prayers with us and experience the turnaround in your life.
FAMILY BLESSINGS
You shall prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
- 3 John 2
Family is the most wonderful association established by God to make man's life meaningful on this earth and to take care of his needs. But as lives are being propelled by the race to accumulate materialistic things and struggle for survival increases, the first victim in most cases is the 'family.' In the hustle and bustle of life we forget small things as to say 'hi' to others, to smile and to spend time with our loved ones. All these 'small things' begin to shake the foundations of 'family'. So it is very important to seek God's grace and blessing to have peace, joy and understanding overflowing in our families. So take a break now and say these prayers with us. He will surely bless your family.
MARITAL PROBLEMS
God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity.
- Psalm 68:61
"Love... love... till it hurts." If this be the golden rule in for all kind of relationships in a marriage, then there would be no room for misunderstanding. Total acceptance by both the partners is the first step in trying to understand each other. Acceptance will help nurture 'sacrificial Spirit', which will make the bond stronger. May be many a time we have tried doing this but failed, that is why it is very important to seek the Lord's help and mercies. If you are going through a rough phase in your married life, do not worry make a beginning here by saying these prayers with us. God will be more than happy to help you, because He desires our well-being.
EDUCATION
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
- James 1:5
Come Public Examination results, the Newspapers not only acclaim the achievers but also report the tragedy of young students ending their lives due to failure in examinations. Ending lives -- a cruel difference between success and failure. The few who strive hard come out in flying colours and emerge as winners. Is it not our responsibility to concentrate and learn what we ought to? Yes, of course but then we have tried hard and found it to be elusive. The only way out is to seek God's grace and mercy so that we can have His Divine Peace and strength to carry out our duties. The Word of God says that If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. Join us in these prayers and be a Winner!
JOB
The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But deliverance is of the Lord.
- Proverbs 21:31
We finish our education with so much of dreams hoping to get into a suitable job and to earn money. But the struggle for a job not only disappoints us but also leaves us heavily frustrated. We are sick and tried of applying for jobs and seeking recommendations from all whom we know. Some of them even get into bad company in their frustration and succumb to bad habits. And, finally we realise the limitations of human help in the hard way. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. Just trust in Him, no matter how long you have been waiting for a job the Lord will definitely open a way for you. Join us in these prayers and soon you will realise how true He is to His words.
WORK-PLACE PROBLEMS
In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
- John 16:33
Many a time a well begun day gets easily ruined due to work spot problems. We try to brush it aside with a 'part of the parcel' attitude but down deep it hurts and frustrates us. The misunderstandings, rumours, injustice, dissatisfaction... the list is endless. We may try our best to be good and but still end up hurting others and ourselves in the process. Then, where is the missing link? We talk and try all the novel theories of human relationships but nothing seem to work when it really matters. It's high time we realise the vital link - the Almighty Lord's mercy, grace and knowledge. Come on let us pray together to find favour and high esteem in the sight of God and man.
BUSINESS
"The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand,
- Deuteronomy 28:8
Businesses do not exist in vacuum but are a vital part of society at large. Therefore social responsibility is more than just an obligation of any business. It should be for the betterment of the society and honesty, purity should be the foundation of any business. The word of God says, "if we are faithful over a few things, He will make us ruler over many things". Moreover we know that all the blessings come from the heavenly Father and it is only just on our part to give back at least one tenth for His work and Glory. When we do this He is sure to bless us richly. Even now what ever may be our problem let us take to Him through these prayers and seek His blessings.
FINANCIAL PROBLEMS
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
- Philippians 4:19
Even though money is not every thing in life, still money is essential to live and help others live. Most of our financial problems start when we do not have control over our spending habits. If are self disciplined in this aspect it would definitely make a world of difference. But still when we desperately need money and do not know where to run we should remember that riches and glory come from the Lord. He has never put to shame those who earnestly seek Him. Pray along with us even in this time of trouble He will definitely come to your rescue.
FAILURES
"My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."
- 2 Corinthians 12:9
This is one event, which no one will ever willingly want to experience in life. But still we experience failure in some form or the other. Some times we also forget that failures are not pain but test to the final victory. But in our human nature we are heavily discouraged and dismayed when we meet up with failure. We try many things to overcome the pain caused due to failure. Some of us even end up in acquiring new bad habits, and we realise it the hard way nothing and no one would ever be of some useful help except the Almighty God Himself. Talk to Him through these prayers and he would definitely hear them and turn around your life.
SPIRITUAL
I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
- Acts 2:17
"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." - Jesus.
Born again... does it sound strange? If it does it is time we got familiar with it. Many a time in our lives we have had a feeling of emptiness and wonder where our 'value system' has gone when we do certain things, which we really do not intend to do. The word of God says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Then the question is, is there any redemption for us? If this is your question too, the answer…the only answer is Jesus Christ. He has paid for all our sins at the Cross and thus has granted salvation. If you have not tasted His love so far, invite Him into your hearts through these prayers. He will definitely make a difference in your life.
DEMONIC OPPRESSIONS
When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.
- Isaiah 59:19
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. - The Bible
It doesn't stop with horror movies or with novels; it's prevalent everywhere and many a lives fall victim to these powers even today. Even some of us would have experienced nightmares or felt oppressed/bound to certain habits, and all efforts to overcome this by ourselves have been in vain. It is also shocking to know that people try to settle their scores by way of doing witchcraft against each other. That is why it is very important to have the Divine cover to protect us from all such evil. The Lord has overcome the devil and He is able to protect us, let us look to Him through these prayers and chase the devil run.
MINISTRY
You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
- Acts 1:8
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."- Jesus
This is the supreme command that the Lord Jesus gave to His disciples. Having known Him, having tasted His love and redeemed by His blood, we are all His disciples and we all have the same responsibility to spread the Good News. There are still a lot of people who have not heard this Good News even once in their lives. So what are we doing about it? We can always make a start by sharing the Gospel with our friends in the place of work or study. We can support the various Ministries which take The Word all over the World, through our sincere prayers and our liberal offerings. And people, who are involved directly in the ministry, keep up the good work for your reward is great in Heaven. Come on let us pray together so that He will strengthen us and use for His glory.
GENERAL PRAYERS
Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice.
- Psalm 55:17
Prayers are not only for formal occasions. Backed by faith, prayers can be for everything and for everybody. Any day is well begun with a word of prayer. Prayers definitely make a difference and certainly work wonders. To find it, try it out yourself! Here are a few prayers which are for some common causes like rain, for the nation, etc.
SPECIAL OCCASIONS
You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance.
- Psalm 65:11
There are moments which bring joy to our hearts; seasons which fill our souls with gladness, our spirits raise with new hopes and aspirations; to make a better tomorrow for ourselves. But sometimes, we tend to forget that God is the reason for the season. Let us have the Creator with us during all these special occasions and continue to seek His guidance.
