I Will Bless the Lord at All Times
Full Text
I declare that I will bless the Lord at all times — not just when life is good, not just when I feel like it, not just when my prayers have been answered the way I hoped. At all times. In the abundance and in the lack. In the clarity and in the confusion. In the joy and in the sorrow. Praise is not a feeling — it is a choice, a sacrifice, an act of will that says: God is worthy regardless of my circumstances. I declare that the enemy will not steal my praise. I declare that discouragement will not silence my worship. I declare that even in the valley, I will lift my eyes to the hills from which my help comes. My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. I choose praise today — not because everything is perfect, but because He is. His mercies are new every morning. His faithfulness endures forever. I will bless the Lord at all times, and His praise will continually be in my mouth.
