Morning Prayer for Today – Clothe Me With Praise

O Lord, 

How majestic is your name in all the earth? You are my God and my guaranteed help in my time of need.

Your word says in Hebrews 13:15:

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.

Lord, in a world filled with complaining, murmuring, and pains, please, let me never stop praising you, no matter the circumstances surrounding my life.

Each time I look at your word, I see that those who trust you consistently demonstrate it through an attitude of praise.

Strengthen my faith, Lord, and clothe me with the garment of praise. Let me see and declare your victory even in the face of defeat.

I open myself up to your promise in Isaiah 60:3:

And provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning,

And a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendour.

Father, I refuse to let disappointments and satan’s lies rob me of my joy. I refuse to allow the enemy to steal my peace and cause me to be depressed.

Instead, I receive the oil of gladness and the garment of praise today. I will walk like the child of royalty that I am in Christ Jesus.

I will don my crown of beauty because you have made my life beautiful beyond anything this world can imagine.

Thank you, Father God.

In Jesus’ name, I pray.

Amen.
