Good morning, everyone. Welcome to another episode of our EBC Prayer Podcast. Remember, I am your host. I am Dr. Victoria Haddad, the First Lady, Prayer Warrior, and Co-Pastor of Elyon Bible Church Apostolic in New Jersey. 

God has been good to us. He is a good God, a mighty God, a God who deserves every praise, every honor, and every glory.

So today, keep on rejoicing and keep on giving God thanks for all that He has done for us. What he has done for us is more than we can even do for ourselves. And that's why we thank God every day for the chance to come together and pray.

Today is the 84th day of the year, and we are still praying, still trusting God, still believing in God, and still hoping for His will to be accomplished in our lives. 

Our scripture today will be taken from Psalm 97:11-12. And it said, “Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.” 

Give God thanks and celebrate Him. Celebrate His holiness and let His will be accomplished in all of our lives. 

So, let’s pray. 

Father, we thank you for this day. Thank you for not giving up on us. Thank you for reminding us not to stop praying. Thank you for reminding us to be encouraged. Thank you for reminding us to rejoice, to shout hallelujah, and to remember that you are a glorious God. You are a God who deserves every praise, every honor, and every glory. A God who's worthy. Thank you, Lord God, for reminding us that you are God. 

Lord. As we pray today, let us pray with rejoicing, with gladness, with upright hearts, and uprightness in our spirit, because of your goodness towards us. You woke us up today. And Lord, we don't have to be ashamed of the day. We don't have to be downcast in our spirit today. We don't have to let God be oppressed or depressed. But we can celebrate the goodness of God. You are God who cares. Even when life is not worthy of praise, you, Lord, are worthy of every praise. 

Even during disappointment, Lord God, you are worthy. We want to rejoice in the goodness of God. We thank you for your healing power. We thank you for your majestical power.
 
 God, thank you for your reassurance. Thank you for your grace and your mercy. Lord God, we thank you for all that you have done for us. Help us to rejoice with a good heart, a glad heart, a bright heart, a heart that will celebrate you in your holy name. Because God, you made this day. You know everything about us.
 You know what this day has in store. And God, we are surrendering this day into your hands. And we are asking you, God, for your protection.
 
 We are asking for your guidance. We are asking you, God, to lift our voice with praise and celebration as we go through this day. Help us to pray earnestly. Rejoice, daily. Rejoice, unconditionally. Rejoice because you are God and you are worthy of every praise. Help us not to give up on you. Help us not to be cumbersome with the cares of this life and lose focus on you. But help us to remember, the Holy God we serve will hear and answer our prayer.
 
 The Holy God we serve, nothing is impossible with him. He is worthy of every praise, every glory, and every honor. And so, Lord God, we thank you for this day. We are celebrating you this day. We are rejoicing this day. And we are thanking you for reminding us of the power and all the joy that we can have if we rejoice and praise you.
 
 Lord God, we thank you, help us to rejoice. You see, everyone who is listening to this prayer podcast today, you see, the needs that are intervening in everyone's life, the problems that are intervening in our family. You see, the need of all of the Leaders, all of our Church Leaders, all of our Pastors. Oh, God, you see, the need of all those who are in Leadership, our President, our Vice President. Oh, God, everyone who is praying, everyone who is seeking you, everyone who is calling on your holy name.
 
 God, you see, the need of everyone in the hospital, all of the doctors, and those in leadership. God, you see the needs of every patient; you know the needs of those in senior homes. You see, the need, Father God, of all Police Officers and everyone in leadership. God, you know the needs of everyone who is giving their lives for the sake of others. You see, the need, Lord God. Help us rejoice and stop focusing so much on our stuff; instead, focus on the God in whom we serve. 

The God who deserves every praise. The God who deserves every glory. The God who is worthy of everything we could showcase to him. So, help us to rejoice and be glad, because the righteous God we serve, he's a holy God who's worthy of every praise, every honor, and every glory.
 
 In your mighty, holy, and wonderful name we pray. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord.
 
 Everyone, rejoice, give God thanks, and celebrate God's goodness as you go through this day. Have a great day, and we'll pray again tomorrow. God bless you…Bye-bye.
