if nothing else, praise

Prayer is difficult. There are so many things we can, and feel we should, pray about! Where does a person begin? And how do we decide for whom to pray? The thought of praying for everything and everyone who needs prayer is overwhelming.
One happy afternoon I realized that if I do nothing else but praise God, I have prayed well. In my praise, I’m trusting Him to take care of everything else. For we pray to the One who knows our needs before we say a word.
God invites us to ask. He encourages us to bring our needs before His throne. But during those times when our needs overwhelm, we can praise. If nothing else, we can praise Him!

“For your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”
Matthew 6:8 ESV

Also: Psalm 148-150
