This article explains how to experience true happiness from Allah by praising His name because Lord is the only source of joy, faith, and hope. You can use the following example to praise God.
Step
Step 1.
Pray by saying:
"O Lord, how great is Your work in my life from day to day until now. You are the one who rules over my whole life." If you want to get rid of negative emotions:
"I believe Your power is at work within me so that the praise I speak will enable me to do beneficial actions that bring peace and turn my anger into wise behavior." (Anger is a negative emotion that must be proactively controlled and eliminated because this behavior is contrary to Christian teachings.)
Control anger by praying: "I praise You Lord for being able to fight the devil when angry so that I can become a person who is able to love and benefit others. I don't want to hold grudges and hatred towards anyone."
Step 2. Meditate on the life of Jesus by praying:
"Lord Jesus, I glorify You because You were willing to be born as a human being to sacrifice your life on the cross as atonement for my sins and rise again so that I can be a part of Your life and be saved."
Step 3. Cultivate the awareness that gives you strength by praying:
"Lord Jesus, I praise You all the time and I am grateful for Your love that is poured out in my life because You have sacrificed yourself to save me."
"I admit my weakness in understanding facts and truth".
"I am grateful that my understanding is growing by studying and deepening the Bible with the help of the Holy Spirit and friends so that I don't have to take this spiritual journey alone."
Step 4.
Mention the qualities or attributes that are worthy of praising God, for example:
"Mighty God!", "Father God, You are almighty God!", "O God, You are all and in all."
Step 5. Give thanks to God:
"Thank you, Lord, for all Your blessings (big and small) in my life. You have given me everything I need." You may praise God out loud.
Heavenly Father, I thank and praise You for all Your wonderful blessings because You have created and guided my life according to Your will
Step 6.
Mention God's work when praising His name, for example:
"Let the heavens and the earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them" (Psalm 69:35).
Step 7. Let God touch you while expressing your deep love for Him by saying:
"I praise Your greatness, Lord, because You are willing to listen to the praises of those who love You!" (Psalm 22:3).
Step 8. Praise God by helping others according to what Jesus said:
"Behold, whatever you did to one of the least of these my brethren, you did to me" (Matthew 25:40). The prophet Isaiah once said: "Remember that God has determined that the praise that pleases Him is to make visits and share goodness while proclaiming the good news of salvation to those in need, especially to widows and orphans".
Step 9. Pray the way Jesus taught while praising God because this is an effective way of praying
Step 10. Write a journal after prayer so that you feel blessed every time you make progress in your daily life because you are diligent in praying and praising God
Step 11. Praise God in times of adversity:
"Father God, I thank You for Your goodness because You are always there for me and help me so that my life is always calm and peaceful. Your plans are far greater than what I can think or imagine. Praise to You and Your mighty arms always gives me confidence and strength."
Step 12. Listen to Christian songs and praise God wherever you are
Whether in your room, in the car, or on foot, God always blesses you for glorifying His name.
There are many artists and music groups who sing praise to God that you can find on YouTube
Tips
- Praising God is a way of feeling peace and joy, even when experiencing difficulties.
- Instead of imagining a bleak future, give comfort to others in Jesus name. According to the Bible, true Christianity can be realized by visiting and helping others who are experiencing difficulties. God always hears our prayers and answers them by giving them the motivation and ability to act. According to the Bible, God is "present in the praise" that is raptured by those who have faith in Him.
- When you feel attracted to the opposite sex, cultivate respect for him by saying to yourself: "I praise You, Lord, for meeting (say her name) whom I admire so much!" Be a person who always glorifies God by living life according to His will through the Sacrament of Marriage.
- Feel free to stretch out your arms and hold them high as a way of showing surrender or acceptance when you feel helpless and want to glorify God. Raise your hands like you want to reach for the sky as a symbol of surrender to God so that you can experience union with Him in glory.
- Fight the devil when doubt arises by thinking: "Can I get a boyfriend? Get married? Pay the bills? Am I working too hard/little?" Worry does not bring good. Try to overcome worry and despair. Live life according to the words of Jesus!
- After Paul and Silas were beaten and put in prison, there was a great earthquake. They continued to sing praises to God all night to glorify God. Immediately all the doors were opened and all their shackles were released. When the warden awoke from his sleep and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword to kill himself because he thought that the prisoners had escaped. Paul cried out in a loud voice, saying: "Do not harm yourselves, for we are all still here!" At that very hour the warden took them and washed their wounds. Immediately he and his family were baptized. (Acts 16:12-40). This is proof that God is always present through praise and helping those who obey Him. This happened in Philippi.
- Be a person who is always grateful and admires God's goodness: "Thank you God for giving me a good, peaceful, and prosperous life."
- As a Christian, you can praise God spontaneously using a Bible verse. In addition to spontaneous prayer, Catholics pray by reciting the litany while concentrating as a prayer to the saints. The prayer offered at mass at the offering of the Blessed Sacrament is the highest praise to God!
- Use the verses in the Psalms as a source of inspiration to praise God. Live a life of holiness and happiness by singing songs of praise to God to praise and glorify His name.
- Always be grateful. Praise to God will flow from a grateful heart.
Warning
- When praising God, don't repeat memorized sentences without understanding the meaning seriously so that they only become sentimental words that have no meaning…
- Praise to God must be realized through daily behavior by actualizing and realizing oneself as a true follower of Christ.
- Don't be arrogant if you have the gift to praise God. Everyone can fall into sin and must continue to strive to maintain holiness by living according to the words of Jesus.
- Don't hesitate to say "I will always praise God. Let my mouth speak only song, praise, and praise to God." Be a follower of Christ who dares to admit that "I am called to follow Christ in order to experience the joy of God."
