Q3. Verses 11 and 12 both attribute various characteristics to God, such as glory, honor, and might. How might you begin to mention God's greatness in your own prayers? Where is this kind of praise found by example in the Lord's Prayer? What are your favorite songs that point to God's greatness?

"Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power.and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and the earth is thine: thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all."

"Majesty...worship His majesty..unto Jesus be all honor power and praise....so exalt lift up the name of Jesus"

when the words... or the tune of this song is played..or remembered..it raises my spirit to exaltation...

"all praise to Jesus...all praise Emanuel...King of King Lord of Lords almighty King..and through all eternity we want to praise Him..we will praise our Lord throughout eternity!"

I could begin by attributing to Him the characteristics of strength, power, glory, and complete awesomeness!

This can be found in Matthew 6:9-10.

I try to start all my prayers with Father I honor you, I praise you, and I love you Father

Where is this kind of praise found by example in the Lord's Prayer?
I just copied this post from servant4life from the study of the Lord Prayer

Praise the Lord everyone!!!
Hallowed be thy name addresses the attention of the prayer toward God and reverence for His name and His person. Hallowed (Gr. hagiazo) means to be held in reverence and awe of holiness. God's name was so sacred to the Old Testament Jew that it was never pronounced by human lips. Thus His name is the expression of His very essence. The biblical usage of the concept of a name is a characteristic description of the basic character of the person whom the name is applied. Since the prayer is directed to our Spiritual Father, only a child of God who has been born again can rightly pray this prayer.

The Hillsongs are a modern view of Gods greatness.

When I speak of the amazing attributes of God in my own prayers, I am speaking them and their power right into my life and circumstances as I am reminded of Who He is. I am recognizing His ownership of everything in all the earth, authority over all things that concern me, His faithful care to provide for all my needs, His constant attention to His good and perfect will for me. I think it would be a good idea to pay very specific attention to each element of my prayer and match it up with a specific attribute of God, being dependent on His glory and greatness in the specifics of my life. Knowing and praying the names of God (which reveal His attributes) would be awesome.

Jesus began His model prayer with this kind of praise as He confessed God as Father, reigning over His kingdom from heaven, whose name is to be revered and honored. Classic songs like Holy, Holy, Holy, El Shaddai, and Majesty are wonderful expressions of praise. Some of my favorite newer songs right now are by Chris Tomlin, who has written some powerful worship music with thoughts straight from Scripture, like God of Wonders and We Fall Down. Two recent songs I love are Beautiful One and Holy Is the Lord. These words never fail to lead me into praise.

Beautiful One - Wonderful so wonderful is your unfailing love; Your cross has spoken mercy over me. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart can fully know How glorious, how beautiful you are…
Powerful, so powerful your glory fills the skies; Your mighty works displayed for all to see. The beauty of your majesty awakes my heart to sing; How marvelous, how wonderful you are.
Chorus:Beautiful one I love, Beautiful one I adore; Beautiful one my soul must sing!

Holy Is the Lord - We stand and lift up our hands For the joy of the Lord is our strength. We bow down and worship Him now; How great, how awesome is He…
Holy is the Lord God Almighty. The earth is filled with His glory. Holy is the Lord God Almighty, The earth is filled with His glory; The earth is filled with His glory.
It's rising up all around, It's the anthem of the Lord's renown. It's rising up all around, It's the anthem of the Lord's renown…
Holy is the Lord God Almighty The earth is filled with his glory...

Praying the Hebrew names of God always helps me to realize who God is. El Shaddai, El Elyon, Jehovah Jireh, Raphe, El Roi, etc. That makes it personal for me and I realize how great and holy and wonderful He is because He is there in every aspect of human and heavenly need.

The Lord's Prayer is all about God - Our Father, in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thye will be done, Give us this day our daily. Forgive us, etc.

Favorite songs - a hard one - they are all great -
Be Thou My Vision
Ancient of Days
It is Wellwith my Soul
Holy Holy Holy
Great is thy Faithfulness
A Mighty Fortress

If i don't stop i will flood the posts

I think I might mention some of the names in the Bible which are given to God and Jesus in my prayers. There are many names given to Jesus: The Good Shepherd, The Lily of the Valley, The Bright and Morning Star, The Great Physician, etc. These names would be reminders to me of the greatness of God and Jesus.

Some of my favorite songs that remind me of the greatness of God and Jesus are:

Holy, Holy, Holy
How Great Thou Art
More than Wonderful
Without Him
Majesty

When I get up each morning and look outside my bedroom window I cannot help but praise God for His glory and majesty, because there displayed for me are magnificent plants, a blue sky (usually, or the much needed rain), exquisite lilttle birds enjoying the feast God has prepared for them, two dogs running and leaping with joy, and my heart "leaps up" (to quote some poet who loved rainbows) in praise of His display of love for us His children. Then I think of what it cost to redeem me to Him to enjoy Him, both in the present and for eternity. I am in love with Him. I am ecstatic. He has been totally faithful to me since conception when He promised me that (He showed me this) through the long years of my anger and foolishness, and constantly I must praise Him for He is my joy and delight. It is fun and wonderful, each day, to spell out the blessings God has poured out on me, and praise His wonderful Name.

In the Lord's prayer, the first lines include "Hallowed be thy Name". This is the line that indicates great praise and exaltation of the most high God, reverence deep and rich.

There are so many wonderful songs.
O, Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder consider all the works thy hands have made....
Immortal, invisible God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes, Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise.
These two songs are my selection for my funeral (which isn't imminent by the way, as far as I know!)
O for a thousand tongues to sing my great redeemer'spraise, the glory of my God and King, The triumph of His grace.

The Lords Prayer starts by speaking of God being holy. I try to start my prayers first by praising God and thanking him for all he has done for me and my family and all that he is going to do. I try to remember to mention the beauty of the world around me. The stary sky, awesome sunrises and sunsets. The way they light up the mountains around me. I have many favorite songs. Favorites change with the day and what might be going on that day. One of my current favorites is "Jesus, name above all names."

i always start my prayers with praise, then thankfulness, followed by asking for forgiveness for my sins.

in the 3rd line...halo be thy name. meaning that he is holy. can't be touched by anyone

i don't have any favorite, as long as it sings of GOD it's there for me. i can say though that the harder it is to sing the more i get a feeling from it.

Q3. How might you begin to mention God's greatness in your own prayers?

He is awesome, He is unchanging, He is faithful, His truth is everlasting. We can never over praise Him. We do not know enough words to praise Him properly. But we will, when He takes us home!


Where is this kind of praise found by example in the Lord's Prayer?

He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Your Rod and Your Staff, they comfort me.

Lord, You are so awesome! You care about mankind--even though we are so careless about obeying You and Your directions to us. May You Holy Spirit show Your might through my life as I dedicate it to You. In your greatness, even through my faulty life, bring honor and glory to You and Your Kingdom! Amen.
In the Lord's prayer,
"Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Forgive us our trespasses
deliver us from evil
Thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory forever!"
So many songs!
"Allelelu, Allelelu, Alleleluia"
"Spirit of the Living God"
"This is the Day"
"Jesus, Jesus, Jesus"
Any number of the Gaither songs.

I might honor Him for His creation(s), the Heavens, the earth, the skies, the stars, us, etc; acknowledging His great power alone to accomplish all that is.

I think I must try to do this when considering other things to say, besides Him always being Holy. Not to minimize Him being Holy, I just feel rote in that prayer too much, and seek other ways to describe His Holiness.

Our God is an awesome God!

Praising God in prayer

Heavenly Father, We praise your creation and thank you for salvation through your son Jesus Christ .......

My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.

Sometimes when I can't sleep at night I will start going through the alphabet with praise from each letter of the alphabet (although some letters are a challenge).
