If you are trying to start a daily devotional time in which you will commune with the Lord, you are likely to find this innocent-looking little booklet a great help.

It is generally understood among Christians that a key part of our devotional time should be to praise the Lord. He is surely worthy for many reasons - His majesty, His glory, His greatness, His holiness, His wisdom, His power, His faithfulness and His salvation.
With simple, brief little pages, this booklet jogs our memory to count our blessings, and how to lift our hearts and think of different ways to praise and worship our God.
You can read the whole text of this booklet on our website, starting on this page; My Little Book of Praise
However, if you find your prayers slipping away from a theme and tone of praise to God, you might do well to order this small booklet tract, to carry about in your pocket, to check daily, until you develop a habit of starting your prayers with praise and worship that is fresh and meaningful to you.
Besides giving you Scripture passages to study and meditate on about praise, there are brief little passages about Moses, and Paul and Silas' midnight anthem of praise to inspire you. There's a page on how to use the Psalms, and how to put on the garment of praise instead of the spirit of heaviness.
From David we learn how to unseal our lips to sing what bubbles forth from our hearts, and how to exalt the name of our Lord and God.
We will be singing hallelujahs in Heaven for eternity - shouldn't we be getting into practice in this life already? It is good to sing together with others in church, but the Lord gives a special joy to those who delight in Him, and commune with Him in their own personal quiet times.
I find that the more I dwell on the greatness of God and tell Him what I'm discovering about Him, the more faith I have to believe Him for the provisions and protection that I request when I come to the place of laying my cares before Him.
This booklet is free, but we suggest a donation to cover postage costs.
