You, O God, made me, and not I myself, and therefore I am not my own but Yours: 1 Corinthians 6:19(NASB) I am of Your people and of the sheep of Your pasture; Psalm 100:3(NASB) let me therefore worship and bow down and kneel before the LORD my Maker. Psalm 95:6(NASB)

You, Lord, are the former of my body, and it is fearfully and wonderfully made and skillfully wrought. Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them. Psalm 139:14-16(NASB)

You have clothed me with skin and flesh; You have knit me together with bones and sinews; You have granted me life and lovingkindness, and Your care preserves my spirit. Job 10:11-12(NASB)

You are the Father of my spirit, Hebrews 12:9(NASB) for You formed the spirit of man within him, Zechariah 12:1(NASB) and made this life for me. Jeremiah 38:16(NASB) The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33:4(NASB) You put wisdom in the innermost being and give understanding to the mind. Job 38:36(NASB)

You are God my Maker, who teaches me more than the beasts of the earth and makes me wiser than the birds of the heavens. Job 35:10-11(NASB)

I am the clay, and You my Potter; I am the work of Your hand. Isaiah 64:8(NASB)

You are He who brought me forth from the womb and kept me in safety when upon my mother’s breasts; I have been cast upon You from birth and sustained by You. Psalm 22:9-10(NASB) You have been my God from my mother’s womb, and therefore my praise is continually of You. Psalm 71:6(NASB)

In You, O God, I live and move and exist, for I am Your child. Acts 17:28(NASB)

In Your hand are my life-breath and all my ways; Daniel 5:23(NASB) for a man’s way is not in himself, nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps, Jeremiah 10:23(NASB) but my times are in Your hand. Psalm 31:15(NASB)

You are the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day and redeemed me from all evil. Genesis 48:15-16(NASB)

Give Honor to the Triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Adoration 1.11 | NASB

We must give honor to the three persons in the Godhead distinctly, to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, that great and sacred Name into which we were baptized and in which we assemble for religious worship, in communion with the universal church.

I pay homage to three that testify in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; for these three are one. 1 John 5:7(KJV)

I adore You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, Matthew 11:25(NASB) and the eternal Word, who was in the beginning with God and was God, through whom all things came into being, and apart from whom nothing came into being that has come into being; John 1:1-3(NASB) and who in the fullness of time, Galatians 4:4(NASB) became flesh and dwelt among us and showed His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14(NASB)

And since it is the will of God that all should honor the Son even as they honor the Father, John 5:23(NASB) I adore Him as the radiance of His Father’s glory and the exact representation of His nature; Hebrews 1:3(NASB) herein joining with the angels of God, who were all bidden to worship him. Hebrews 1:6(NASB)

I pay homage to the exalted Redeemer, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth, Revelation 1:5(NASB) confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:11(NASB)

I also worship the Holy Spirit, the Helper, whom the Son has sent from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, John 15:26(NASB) and who is sent to teach me all things and to bring to my remembrance all things; John 14:26(NASB) who indited the Scriptures, holy men of God writing them as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:21(NASB)

Give Glory to God as the Creator of the World

Adoration 1.10 | NASB

I must give glory to Him as the Creator of the world and the great Protector, Benefactor, and Ruler of the whole creation.

Worthy are You, my Lord and my God, to receive blessing and honor and glory and power; for You have created all things, and because of Your will and for Your praise they exist and have been created. Revelation 4:11(NASB)

I worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters; Revelation 14:7(NASB) who spoke, and it was done; who commanded, and it stood fast; Psalm 33:9(NASB) who said, “Let there be light,” and there was light; Genesis 1:3(NASB) “Let there be a firmament,” and he made the firmament; Genesis 1:6-7(NASB) and he made all very good; Genesis 1:31(NASB) and they stand this day according to his ordinances, for all things are his servants. Psalm 119:91(NASB)

Yours is the day, Yours also is the night; You have prepared the light and the sun. You have established all the boundaries of the earth; You have made summer and winter. Psalm 74:16-17(NASB)

You uphold all things by the word of Your power, Hebrews 1:3(NASB) and in You all things hold together. Colossians 1:17(NASB)

The earth is full of Your possessions, as is the great and broad sea. Psalm 104:24-25(NASB) The eyes of all look to You, and You give them their food in due time: You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. Psalm 145:15-16(NASB) You preserve man and beast, Psalm 36:6(NASB) and give food to all flesh. Psalm 136:25(NASB)

You alone are the LORD; You have made the heavens, the heaven of heavens with all their host; the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; You give life to all of them; and the heavenly host bows down before You, Nehemiah 9:6(NASB) whose sovereignty rules over all. Psalm 103:19(NASB)

A sparrow does not fall to the ground apart from You. Matthew 10:29(NASB)

You made man at first of dust from the ground and breathed into him the breath of life, and so he became a living being. Genesis 2:7(NASB)

And You have made from that one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation. Acts 17:26(NASB)

You are the Most High, who rules over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever You wish; Daniel 4:25(NASB) for from You comes justice for man. Proverbs 29:26(NASB)

Hallelujah! The Lord my God, the Almighty, reigns! Revelation 19:6(NASB) He does all according to the counsel of His will, to the praise of His own glory. Ephesians 1:11-12(NASB)
