They sang,“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honor
and power and strength belong to our God
forever and ever! Amen.”—Revelation 7:12 (NLT)
Eternal God,
Perfect within me the praise and worship I offer up to You through my life, so that I am not tempted to try to take anything that belongs to You alone.
For to You alone belongs
all wisdom, all power, and all strength, forever and ever—and for me to claim
that they exist within me in any way apart
from You is to turn my worship away from You and onto myself, making a god of
myself.
Only You are worthy to
receive blessing and glory and thanksgiving and honor—for You have created all
that there is and it is only by Your glorious wisdom, power and strength that
they remain at all!
So help me always turn
every blessing, any glory, each expression of thanks, and all honor that is
given to me by those of this world, into praise and worship of You—the only One
worthy to receive them—that they might know You and Your power at work all
around them.
Perfect within me the praise and worship I offer up to You through my life, so that I am not tempted to try to take anything that belongs to You alone.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
