Instead of making a New Year's Resolution, I want to show God my appreciation for what he had been in my life each day. At 4:30 A. M. for 2 years I prayed to God and just gave him thanks each day. From January 1, 2014-January 31, 2014. and January 1, 2015- January 31, 2015 For these 2 years no matter how much I needed the Lord, I never ask for anything I just thanked and praised him and he truly blessed me. It is amazing what God can do when you ask it all in his Son Jesus Name.

How to "Halleluiah" in All Circumstances You may never have thought that praise and thanksgiving to God go together, that they constitute a ministry to the Lord, which he highly values. Professor Fomurn examines the Biblical basis for this and much more relating to praise and thanksgiving in this volume. From the obvious giving of thanks when things go well and praising the Lord in victory, the author goes on to teach on "costly" praise and thanksgiving, how to "halleluiah" even when it hurts, which is the best sacrifice to the Lord. This volume is packed with Biblical case studies, from a whole section on David to those on Job and the Lord Jesus. Several chapters are very practical: how to set up a daily calendar of praise and thanksgiving; recording the details of one's life for praise and thanksgiving; the power of cold routine! There is no need to be anxious anymore about the poverty of praise and thanksgiving in your prayer life. This volume is an answer to your prayers and for Philippians 4:6.
