03/24   DRAW NEAR THROUGH PRAISE

“Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God.” (Hebrews 13:15)
Praise is a sacrifice when life wounds us, but it is powerful. Praise turns our eyes from the battle to the Victor. It reminds the soul that God is worthy even when circumstances are weary. Christ is always our reason to praise.

  • Praise protects the heart against despair.
  • Christ is the pathway and power of praise.
  • Praising God realigns our vision.

Poem – Praise in the Hard Places
I lift my praise
even when it hurts,
letting faith rise
above the ache.

You meet me there,
receiving my offering,
steadying my heart
with Your presence.

Praise becomes strength,
simple but real,
because You are worthy
in all things.

Prayer
Lord, receive my praise in every season. Lift my eyes above the struggle and anchor my heart in Your goodness. Let praise reshape my perspective and draw me near to Christ.
