"Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy"
Psalm 86:3 ESV
"I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever"
Psalm 86:12 ESV
Prayer and praise go together. When we pray, we aren't supposed to just pray for what we need and want; we are supposed to praise Jesus for what He has done and will do!
"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done."
Philippians 4:6 NLT

Call to Action
Whenever we pray, let us present our requests with thanksgiving and praise. Psalm 145:3 says, "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable" (KJV).
As we enjoy this holiday season, remember to pray with praise and thanksgiving as we present our requests to God.
After reading this issue, we pray that you are ENCOURAGED and EMPOWERED to PRAY WITH PRAISE.
