Living with a Heart of Praise and Thanks

Ezra 3:11 -

With praise and thanks, they sang this song to the Lord: "He is so good! His faithful love for Israel endures forever!"

When I sing a song to the Lord, I don't want to just sing for the sake of it - I want to sing with a heart of praise and thanks toward Jesus; totally focused on him. This takes discipline in my mind to focus my thoughts on the love he has for me. God doesn't just love me - He is love - He can't help but love me. When I truly grasp, if it is even possible, the extent of God's love for me, all of humanity and his creation, I won't be able to keep from singing songs to him with a heart of praise and thanks.

Dear Heavenly Father,

You alone are worthy of my praise. Teach me Lord to sing to you with a heart of praise and thanks. Help me to be disciplined in my mind and focus my thoughts on your love. Your love is awesome and has transformed my life. I am not ashamed of You Lord,
