Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;
sing of his glorious name;
give him glorious praise. (Psalms 66:2 NABRE)
Boring? Monotonous? Old-fashioned? Wasted time? Stale? Fruitless? If that is how you pray, then stop! If that is how your prayer has started to feel, then stop what you are doing immediately! There is a beautiful fix for this!
Praise God! Praise him by singing, by smiling, by shouting joyfully to him (yes, really)! Say his name out loud as you smile. Make that your sole prayer today! Praising him changes everything. It changes our outlook on our relationship with him. It changes our feeling about our prayer. It even changes our perspective on our personal circumstances! And it opens our heart to his Word.
Today, I will recall the many awesome deeds of the Lord and praise him for all he does!
Saint Martin I, last of the early popes to be venerated as a martyr, pray for us.
