Have you ever walked up to your mate and just hugged them for no reason? Not only does your mate feel better but you walk off feeling loved yourself. I wonder if that is like when we stop in the middle of our busy day and tell God we love Him and praise Him for all His goodness.
Often when I hug my husband, he will say that he wishes I would do that more often. I wonder does God want to tell us to praise Him more often.
Yes it is wonderful to praise God at Church but isn't it more special when we stop what we are doinig and say a silent prayer to God. Maybe those quick prayers are the most special to God.

You sure hit the nail on the head with this one Sis.
1 Thess 5 says to pray without ceasing, this is carrying His praise and worship in our hearts 24/7.

God bless you.

PRAISE YE THE LORD, ’TIS GOOD TO RAISE
Isaac Watts

Praise ye the Lord; ’tis good to raise
Our hearts and voices in His praise;
His nature and His works invite
To make this duty our delight.

The Lord builds up Jerusalem,
And gathers nations to His Name;
His mercy melts the stubborn soul,
And makes the broken spirit whole.

He formed the stars, those heav’nly flames;
He counts their numbers, calls their names;
His wisdom’s vast, and knows no bound,
A deep where all our thoughts are drowned.

Great is our Lord, and great His might;
And all His glories infinite:
He crowns the meek, rewards the just,
And treads the wicked to the dust.

Sing to the Lord, exalt Him high,
Who spreads His clouds all round the sky;
There He prepares the fruitful rain,
Nor lets the drops descend in vain.

He makes the grass the hills adorn,
And clothes the smiling fields with corn;
The beasts with food His hands supply,
And the young ravens when they cry.

What is the creature’s skill or force,
The sprightly man, the warlike horse,
The nimble wit, the active limb?
All are too mean delights for Him.

But saints are lovely in His sight,
He views His children with delight;
He sees their hope, He knows their fear,
And looks, and loves His image there

God is good, all the time, and all the time, God is good! He wants to hear from us all the time, our praises, our requests, our prayers for others and for the lost.
