We continue by praising God for His victories in our lives and our nation. Use the passage we just read or any from memory. Then we will end our praise by reading together a request the Bible tells us to make from 1 Chronicles 16:35 and Psalm 106:47.
Notes
Each will attempt to praise God for His victory, personally and continually.
Notes
End praise section by all reading/praying together 1 Chronicles 16:35. Also note Psalm 106:47. (Portfolio of Scriptures, Told to Pray, Page 2, #15)
All Together
O God of our salvation, gather us together, and deliver us from the healthen, that we may give thanks to Thy Holy Name and glory in Your praise.
