We rejoice with you in the proclamation of Psalm 113, a beautiful hymn of praise to our Almighty God. Let us together magnify the name of the Lord, for His name alone is to be praised from the rising of the sun to its going down.
Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore. For there is no one like our Lord, who dwells on high but humbles Himself to behold the things in the heavens and in the earth. Let us remember that it is the Lord who raises the poor out of the dust and lifts the needy out of the ash heap, that He may seat them with princes, with the princes of His people as written in Psalm 113:7-8 WEB.
As we praise the Lord, let us also remember the words of Jesus in John 14:6 WEB, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. It is through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we pray and receive salvation. For there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved! Acts 4:12.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of praise, exalting Your name from the rising of the sun to its going down. You are high above all nations, Your glory above the heavens. We thank You, Lord, for humbling Yourself to behold our circumstances and for lifting us up from the dust and the ash heap. We pray for those who are in need, that You would seat them with princes as promised in Your Word.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who has made a way for us to come to You. We declare that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one comes to the Father except through Him.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage everyone to continually praise the Lord and to remember the importance of the name of Jesus in our prayers and in our salvation. Let us always be like the joyful mother of children, proclaiming the goodness of the Lord as a fire of the Holy Ghost.
