Week 2

This weeks challenge is to give thanks to God and to praise him in prayer.

Every Day;

1. Give thanks to God. Recognize all that God is doing in your life everyday. Tell God your grateful and don't start a prayer this week without thanking God. He deserves the credit.

2. Give praise to God. Tell God how awesome he is. Praise here is the Hebrew "tehhillaw" which literally means to boast about, to celebrate, to give honor. This can be done both in your prayers and also through worship. When you worship this week, spend special attention to the words your are singing.

If you do not have worship music, GET SOME, and spend time learning and singing songs to God. If you need help with what songs - post a comment into the forum and we can all give each other suggestions. Don't be afraid to meditate and repeat the same song over and over, declaring its truth over your life.

3. As a tool, you can use the following chart to track the things you are thanking and praising God for.

If you are in a conflict with something or someone, be grateful for them. Find the reasons to thank God for the situation or the person. Ask God how he is moving in these situations so that you can thank and praise what He is doing.
