Father, in Jesus' name, I come to You to praise and worship You and to lift You up. I lift up Your name and exalt You. In all things I praise You—even when I am tempted to worry, even in the midst of the battle. I worship You. I acknowledge You, Lord. I put You first in my life.

You are worthy to be praised. You are my rock and my fortress, my strong tower. You are my shield and ever-present help in my time of need. You are my hiding place.

There is power in praising You. Worship gives me strength to endure, to overcome. Worship fills me with Your presence. Worship gives me hope and makes me alive unto You. Worship gives me spiritual strength to continue. As I acknowledge You, I thank You that according to Your Word You direct my paths. I honor You, and You bring honor to my life.

I present myself before You as a living sacrifice to be used of You, Lord. Let Your love, grace, and mercy flow from my heart, I pray. I will praise You because You are a good God and You love me. Your love encompasses me. I praise You because You are with me, for me, and in me.

I give You worship, praise, and thanksgiving. Because You are for me, no one can be against me. I shall not fear or have any anxiety or stress, but I put my trust and confidence in You.

Praising You, Lord, gives me strength, peace, and fulfillment.
