Praise God! - Luke 17:15-16

When one of the men saw that he was healed, he went back to Jesus. He praised God loudly. He bowed down at Jesus' feet. The man thanked Jesus. (This man was a Samaritan.) (ERV)   Full Text

So I bow in prayer before the Father. Every family in heaven and on earth gets its true name from him. I ask the Father with his great glory to give you the power to be strong in your spirits. He will give you that strength through his Spirit. I pray that Christ will live in your hearts because of your faith. I pray that your life will be strong in love and be built on love. And I pray that you and all God's holy people will have the power to understand the greatness of Christ's love. I pray that you can understand how wide and how long and how high and how deep that love is. Christ's love is greater than any person can ever know. But I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with the fullness of God. With God's power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or think of. To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all time, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21 (ERV) After the Lamb took the scroll, the four living things and the 24 elders bowed down before the Lamb. Each one of them had a harp. Also they were holding golden bowls full of incense. These bowls of incense are the prayers of God's holy people. And they all sang a new song {to the Lamb}: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were killed; and with your blood (death) you bought people for God from every tribe, language, race of people, and nation. You made these people to be a kingdom, and you made these people to be priests for our God. And they will rule on the earth." Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels. The angels were around the throne, the {four} living things, and the elders. There were thousands and thousands of angels--there were 10,000 times 10,000. The angels said with a loud voice: "{All} power, wealth, wisdom and strength belong to the Lamb (Jesus) that was killed. He is worthy to receive honor, glory, and praise!" Then I heard every living thing that is in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. I heard every thing in all these places. I heard them all saying: "All praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever to the One that sits on the throne and to the Lamb!" The four living things said, "Amen !" And the elders bowed down and worshiped. Revelation 5:8-14 (ERV) Moses told Pharaoh, "When I leave the city, I will lift my arms in prayer to the Lord. And the thunder and hail will stop. Then you will know that the Lord is in this land. Exodus 9:29 (ERV)
