But for some reason, praise is often a neglected component. Maybe it\u2019s because our needs seem so pressing. Or it could be that we\u2019re more experienced in offering gratitude than praise (how many times did our parents tell us to \u201csay thank you\u201d while hardly ever telling us to \u201csay Glory to God?\u201d). Or maybe it\u2019s because we don\u2019t sing enough. <\/p>\n<p>One of the best ways to offer praise to God is through song. Sure, there are times, like when we see a glorious sunset or a beautiful horse galloping across a field that we cry out in spontaneous praise to God. Most of the time, however, music is the key that opens our hearts and mouths in praise to God. That is why the ancient psalmist sang: <\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">Shout for joy to God, all the earth!<br \/>\nSing the glory of his name;<br \/>\n    make his praise glorious.<br \/>\nSay to God, \u201cHow awesome are your deeds!<br \/>\n     So great is your power<br \/>\n     that your enemies cringe before you.<br \/>\nAll the earth bows down to you;<br \/>\n     they sing praise to you,<br \/>\n    they sing the praises of your name\u201d (Psalm 661-4, NIV).<\/p>\n<p>The Bible actually tells you not only to speak but also to sing your praises to God. So here are a few ways to do that: <\/p>\n<p><strong>1.  Grab an old hymnal.<\/strong><br \/>\nMany churches have stopped using hymnals but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to. Many can be found in church basements, used bookstores or yard sales. And they are rich in words of praise that can still be sung as loudly and sincerely as ever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.  Adopt several hymns and praise songs as \u201cgo to\u201d prayers.<\/strong><br \/>\nIf I asked you to sing your praise to God right now, what song would come to mind? \u201cHow Great is Our God?\u201d \u201cO Worship the King, All Glorious Above?\u201d \u201cHow Great Thou Art?\u201d \u201cImmortal, Invisible, God Only Wise?\u201d Keep a short list in your mind or in your Bible that you can turn to often for a few moments of heartfelt praise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.  Adapt a few psalms.<\/strong><br \/>\nSome Bible psalms can be sung too. You may know Psalm 23 as \u201cThe King of Love My Shepherd Is,\u201d Psalm 100 as \u201cThe Doxology\u201d and Psalm 103 as \u201cBless the Lord, O My Soul.\u201d Such musical settings of Biblical psalms can help you sing your praise to God.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.  Sing a new song.<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ve posted previously about <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/5-ways-to-pray-a-new-song-to-god\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">singing a new song to God in prayer<\/a>. You may sometimes feel a height of wonder or depth of awe that cannot be expressed except in a new, original song that springs from your soul, heart and mouth simultaneously. It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s not a \u201cgood\u201d melody or a particularly clever lyric; all that matters is that it helps you to express what is rising up from within you, producing \u201ca new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God\u201d (Psalm 41:3, NIV). <\/p>\n<p><strong>5.  Drop in on a praising church.<\/strong><br \/>\nSome churches sing more than others, and some are especially good at songs and hymns of praise. If the church you attend regularly is not that kind of church, you might consider visiting another church every once in a while in order to sing your praise to God. Many Mennonite churches are known for their singing (and harmonizing), as are many National Baptist Churches, among others. Not all singing is praise, of course, so it will take some discernment and possibly trial and error, but there are still many churches that sing enthusiastic (and sometimes even tuneful) praise to God. <\/p>\n<p>These aren\u2019t the only ways to sing your praise to God, but try just one or two of these, and your praying will soon be music to God\u2019s ears. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people\u2014even the prayingest among us\u2014spend their time making requests of God or giving thanks.
