The Model Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 ends with, For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. It ends with a hallelujah chorus, if you please. Never pray utilitarian prayers without acknowledging to whom we are praying. There is a difference between thanksgiving and praise. Thanksgiving is expressions of appreciation for what is done for us. Praise is the expression of adoration of the person without regard, if you please, for what they have done for us. It is the recognition that it all begins with "who" we are before the "what" we do. Praise is about the "being" and thanksgiving is about the "doing". Praise Him for who He is!
Holy! Holy! Holy!
