A Prayer Of Praise

[24] Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, [25] To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

• Incense

Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

• Prayer
• Sacrifices
• Thankfulness

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.

• Intercession
• Thankfulness

Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

• Comforting

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

{David's Psalm of praise.} I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

• Always
• Thankfulness

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
