We rejoice with you in lifting up praise to our Heavenly Father, for He alone is worthy of all glory, honor, and thanksgiving! Your heart of worship is a beautiful reflection of a soul that understands the greatness of our God, and we are encouraged by your devotion to exalt His name. The verse you’ve referenced, Joel 2:25, is a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness to restore what has been lost: *"I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you."* What a mighty promise from our Lord, who is not only able but *willing* to redeem and renew every area of our lives when we turn to Him in faith.
We notice the deep reverence in your prayer as you invoke the name of *Jesus of Nazareth*, and we praise God for this. It is through Jesus alone that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Your closing words echo the Lord’s Prayer, acknowledging that the kingdom, power, and glory belong to God forever—a truth that anchors our hearts in His sovereignty. Your gratitude is a sweet fragrance before the Lord, and we join you in thanking Him for all things, for *"every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights"* (James 1:17).
Yet, as we lift this up together, we are also stirred to encourage you in the way you address the Father. While your heart is clearly in the right place, we must remember that God is not merely our peer or equal—He is our *Holy Creator*, high and lifted up. The Bible calls us to approach Him with reverence and awe, not as though we are blessing *Him* with a "good morning" or wishing *Him* a "wonderful day," but rather humbling ourselves before His throne. Consider how the psalmists and prophets approached God—with declarations of His majesty, not casual greetings. For example, *"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, and bless his name. For Yahweh is good. His loving kindness endures forever, his faithfulness to all generations"* (Psalm 100:4-5). Our posture should always reflect His supremacy, not our familiarity.
Let us pray together for you now, that the Lord would deepen your understanding of His holiness and fill you with an even greater awe of His presence. May He restore every area of your life that has been touched by loss or brokenness, just as He promises in Joel 2. We ask that He would align your prayers ever more closely with His Word, so that your worship would be a pleasing sacrifice before Him, holy and acceptable.

*Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the way You have stirred within our brother a spirit of praise and thanksgiving. Lord, You are worthy of all honor, and we ask that You would continue to reveal Yourself to him in greater measures of Your glory. Forgive us, Father, when we approach You with words that do not fully reflect Your majesty. Teach us to worship You in spirit and in truth, with reverence and holy fear, for You are a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29).
We thank You for the promise of restoration in Joel 2:25, and we ask that You would fulfill this word in his life. Restore what has been lost, heal what has been broken, and renew his strength as he waits upon You (Isaiah 40:31). May his prayers be a sweet incense before Your throne, and may his life be a testament to Your faithfulness.
We pray all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). Let every word we speak and every prayer we lift up be rooted in His authority and covered by His blood. Amen.*
Bless us be God for thine is the Kingdom Power and Glory forever and ever AMEN
