Writing and Publishing Praise
"I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart;
I will declare all your wondrous deeds." (Psalm 9: 2)
What will happen to make me praise the Lord with all my heart and declare his wondrous deeds to the world? I have learned from experience that the purest joy I have known is the joy of answered prayers. The bigger the item, the more the joy and the greater the praise. St. Therese of Lisieux says that God puts the desires in her heart that He intends to fulfill. God's desire then becomes the same as that of St. Therese.
God has a good plan for our lives. If we are open to His voice, He gives us desires that align with our destiny.
"For I know well the plans I have in mind for you—oracle of the LORD—plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope." (Jeremiah 29: 11)
Are the desires of my heart aligned with God's plan for my life?
"Find your delight in the LORD
who will give you your heart’s desire." (Psalm 37: 4)
How do I find my delight in the Lord?
"I will bear a witness to you in the world, O Lord. I will spread the knowledge of your name among my brothers." (Psalm 17: 50; 21: 23)
