*Nehemiah:1: 4-5*
As we all know, "praying to God" is the solution to every kind of problem or difficulties that we may face.
By the guidance of God, we will try to study this portion of the book of Nehemiah, and get what God wants to teach us.
The people of Israel were captive and were suffering, so, when Nehemiah heard about it, he was in deep sorrow, but he didn't stay there, Nehemiah stood and prayed for his people.
We can notice that, it was a hard time, but the first thing Nehemiah did when he was praying was: "praising and elevating God".
WHAT IS PRAISE!? AND WHY SHOULD WE PRAISE GOD?
âŞď¸PRAISE is by definition the action of testifying the good deeds of someone, with a spirit of thanksgiving. Praise is closer to the worship, it can be done by songs or by words.
âŞď¸Praising God is a very good practice which has to be done by every christians.
Praise is also the fact of reminding God all the good He did for us, it is a way of confessing the capabilities of God by believing that He is able to do more and again.
We are acknowledging His power and His might. We are giving Him the place He deserves
âŞď¸We should know that, God loves praise. When we praise, chains are broken and the throne of God and all His glory comes down.
When we praise, we are confessing the reign of God over any situation that might be making us unhappy.
When we praise, God rises and acts.
âŞď¸So, as children of God, to live in a normal, pure and clean relationship with God, we have to learn to praise God in every kind of situation. We have to acknowledge the greatness of God.
By doing so, we are humbling ourselves and telling to God that, as humans we are limited but He is not. We are showing our dependance and our gratefulness to Him.
*God bless you đđź*
