the Lord's name is to be praised. PSALM 113:3 |
Redeemer As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, The Holy One of Israel.
ISAIAH 47 : 4 NKJV |
Praise, is that aspect of prayer in which we recognize and acknowledge God as sovereign Creator of the Universe. The aspiring soul which has found God reacts in adoration.
Praise is the heart sending its full and happy pulsations up to GOD through glad currents of joy and thanksgiving. |

Praise is the expression of a brimming heart; silently in the sunshine of His presence or spontaneously vocalised as the " fruit of lips that acknowledge his name" (HEBREWS 13:15 R.S.V.)
Praise springs naturally and inevitably from vision and love. ......Praise......... is both the response to the vision of God and the natural expression of love. |
Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption. 1st Corinthians 1:30 NRSV
Then they will see "the Son of Man coming in a cloud" with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place stand up and raise your heads because your redemption is drawing near. LUKE 21:27-28 NRSV. |
As we see further into the mystery of God so our expression of what we perceive will become fuller and richer. The vision of God will open our hearts to love all God's creatures, especially our fellows created in God's image and likeness. This liberating love will open our hearts and lips to rejoicing and praise.

Refuge Psalm 46 v1,7 &11.GOD is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble

Whatever is reverently offered up in God's service by any member of the church is sustained by the faith and devotion of the whole body, since the spirit of the Church which gives life to the whole body is preserved by CHRIST it's Head. Knowing that we are not alone, we realize that our small effort, poor as it seems, |

Knowledge that the Church is praying with us is enabling at times of fatigue or dryness or verbal paralysis----as a weak singer is more confident supported by a choir than singing solo. . . . . .but when the individual prays, the first word we utter is the prayer of the Church. . . .valued and included....... . |

REMOVER OF SINSAs far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us . PSALM 103 : 12 NKJV |
The Priest, presiding in the person of Christ, addresses the prayers to God in the name of the entire assembly of God's people and of all present and thus they are called presidential prayers.
The nature of the presidential prayers demands that they be spoken in a loud and clear voice so that everyone present may hear and pay attention. |
You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption
For You have cast all my sins behind your back. ISAIAH 38:17 I am He who blots out transgressions for My own sake And I will not remember your sins. !!! ISAIAH 43: 25 |
While the priest is speaking , there should be no other prayer or song, and the organ and other musical instruments should be silent,.
