Introduction and Exhortation to Stir Yourself Up to Praise God

Thanksgiving 4.0 | NASB

Of the Fourth Part of Prayer, which is Thanksgivings for the Mercies I have Received from God and the Many Favors of His I am Interested in and Have and Hope for Benefit by

My errand at the throne of grace is not only to seek the favor of God, but to ascribe to Him the glory due to His name, Psalm 29:2(NASB)  and that, not only by an awful adoration of His infinite perfections, but by a grateful acknowledgment of His goodness to me, which cannot indeed add anything to His glory, but He is pleased to accept of it and to reckon Himself glorified by it, if it comes from a heart that is humbly sensible of its own unworthiness to receive any favor from God, that values the gifts and loves the Giver of them.

I must stir up myself to praise God with the consideration both of the reason and of the encouragement I have to praise Him.

I give thanks to You, O God, I give thanks, for Your name is near; I declare Your wondrous works. Psalm 75:1(NASB)

Let my soul bless the LORD, and let all that is within me, bless His holy name; yes, let my soul bless the LORD and forget none of His benefits. Psalm 103:1-2(NASB)

I will praise the LORD, for it is good, it is pleasant, Psalm 92:1(NASB) and praise is becoming to the upright; Psalm 33:1(NASB) yes, it is good to give thanks to the LORD and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning and Your faithfulness by night. Psalm 92:1-2(NASB)

I will extol You, my God, O King, and will bless Your name forever and ever: Every day I will bless You, and will praise Your name forever and ever; Psalm 145:1-2(NASB) I will eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness and shout joyfully of Your righteousness. Psalm 145:7(NASB)

I will sing to the LORD a new song, and His praise in the congregation of the godly ones. Let Israel be glad in his Maker; let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King. Psalm 149:1-2(NASB) Let the godly ones exult in glory, and let the high praises of God be in their hearts and in their mouths. Psalm 149:5-6(NASB)

I will bless the LORD while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being; Psalm 146:2(NASB) and when I have no being on earth, I hope to have a being in heaven, to be doing it better.

I am here through Jesus Christ to offer up a sacrifice of praise to You, which I desire to do continually, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to Your name. Hebrews 13:15(NASB) And You have said that He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors You, Psalm 50:23(NASB) and that this will please the LORD better than an ox or a young bull with horns and hoofs. Psalm 69:31(NASB)

I will make mention of the lovingkindness of the LORD, the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has granted me, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He has granted them according to His compassion and according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses. Isaiah 63:7(NASB)

Plead the Promises of God for the Enforcing of your Petitions

Petition 3.41 | NASB

I must plead the promises of God for the enforcing of all my petitions, put these promises in suit, and refer myself to them.

Lord, You have granted me many precious and magnificent promises, 2 Peter 1:4(NASB) which are all Yes and Amen in Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:20(NASB) Now may it be done to Your servant according to the word that You have spoken. 2 Samuel 7:25(NASB)

Give me to joyously draw water from the springs of salvation, Isaiah 12:3(NASB) to nurse and be satisfied with Jerusalem’s comforting breasts; Isaiah 66:11(NASB) and now, O LORD God, let the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant be established forever, and do as You have spoken. 1 Chronicles 17:23(NASB)

Deal with me according to the tenor of the everlasting covenant, which is well-ordered in all things and secured, and which is all my salvation and all my desire. 2 Samuel 23:5(NASB)

Turn to me and be gracious to me, after Your manner with those who love Your name; Psalm 119:132(NASB) do more for me than I am able to ask or think, Ephesians 3:20(NASB) and supply all my needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19(NASB)

Pray for Daily Supplies of Comfort and Support

Petition 3.40 | NASB

I must pray to be supplied with the comforts and supports I daily stand in need of.

O that the favor of the Lord my God may be upon me; confirm for me the work of my hands; yes, establish the work of my hands. Psalm 90:17(NASB) O LORD, do save, I beseech You; O LORD, I beseech You, do send prosperity! Psalm 118:25(NASB)

Let my sons in their youth be as grown-up plants, and my daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace. Let my garners be full, furnishing every kind of produce; let there be no mishap or loss; and let there be no outcry in the streets of Your people. How blessed are the people who are so situated; how blessed are the people whose God is the LORD! Psalm 144:12-15(NASB)

Let me be blessed in the city and blessed in the country; Deuteronomy 28:3(NASB) let my basket and my kneading bowl be blessed; let me be blessed when I come in and when I go out. Deuteronomy 28:5-6(NASB)

Let Your good providence so order all events concerning me that they may be made to work for good to me, as You have promised they shall to all who love You and are called according to Your purpose. Romans 8:28(NASB)

Give me to trust in the LORD and do good, and then I shall dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness; Psalm 37:3(NASB) and be pleased to bring forth my righteousness as the light and my judgment as the noonday. Psalm 37:6(NASB)

Let me be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and not be afraid of violence when it comes; Job 5:21(NASB) let me be in league with the stones of the field, and let the beasts of the field be at peace with me; let me know that my tent is secure, and let me visit my abode and fear no loss. Job 5:23-24(NASB)

And if God will be with me and will keep me on this journey that I take during my pilgrimage in this world, and will give me food to eat and garments to wear, so that I may come to my heavenly Father’s house in safety, then the LORD will be my God. Genesis 28:20-21(NASB)
