Scriptural Foundation: Psalm 71:8

“My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.”

Praise Deepens Your Union with God

• Praise keeps your eyes on who God is, not on who you are.

– Psalm 34:1 “His praise will always be on my lips.”

• Praise invites His presence in a tangible way.

– Psalm 22:3 “You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.”

• Praise renews confidence in His faithfulness.

– Hebrews 13:15 “Let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise.”

• Praise turns anxious thoughts into peace.

– Philippians 4:6-7 “By prayer and petition, with thanksgiving… the peace of God… will guard your hearts.”

Praise Shapes How You Treat People

• Grateful lips cultivate gracious conversation.

– Colossians 3:16 “Singing… with gratitude in your hearts to God.”

• Praising God together strengthens unity.

– Ephesians 5:19 “Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.”

• A heart rehearsing God’s goodness naturally overflows in encouragement instead of criticism.

• Public praise becomes a testimony, pointing others to the Source of joy.

– Psalm 40:3 “Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.”

Keeping Your Mouth Filled with Praise—Daily Practices

1. Start mornings by reading a psalm aloud—let God set the tone before anyone else does.

2. Replace complaints with thanks on the spot; even a whispered “Lord, thank You” shifts the atmosphere.

3. Sing along to worship music during ordinary tasks—dishes, driving, yard work.

4. Keep a running list of answered prayers and mercies; review it when discouragement creeps in.

5. Share one specific praise with family or friends each day; invite them to do the same.

Takeaways to Carry Forward

• Consistent praise keeps fellowship with God vibrant and intimate.

• A mouth full of praise becomes a conduit of grace to everyone around you.

• The more you practice praise, the more natural it feels—until, like the psalmist, it really does fill your mouth “all day long.”
