The Journey of 10,000 Tongues (Day 2 and Day 3)

I am always reminded of the saying: "If I had 10,000 tongues I could not praise God enough." Whenever I am in a place of  stress, worry, and frustration. It reminds me that there is not enough in me that could express to Daddy what he means to me. David summed up how our feel in Psalm 119:172 when he said: "May my tongue sing of your word,for all your commands are righteous."

What is your tongue saying? I asked myself that question yesterday and today and can I say what I am saying is not always pleasing to Daddy. During these next 19 days of prayer I am determined to not only make my praise and worship my weapon of warfare, but a habit that I do daily. I want to be like David in the book of Psalms, praising and acknowledging Daddy for his goodness; appreciating the newness of his grace and mercy every time I wake up, and realizing that being surrounded by darkness, negativity, and doubt creates the atmosphere for Daddy's presence and his perfect timing.

Prayer: Daddy if we had 10,000 tongues it would not be enough to praise you for your goodness and mercy towards us. So with our one tongue we will say thank. Thank for always being consistent and true to your word and promises. Daddy forgive us for using our tongue in the wrong manner sometimes. Allow our words to be acceptable in your sight Daddy. Let our praise bring you glory and our hearts be free in your presence Daddy. 
In Jesus name... Amen


Now the other day I said I would tell you how to start your own 21 days of prayer journey. It is truly simple and I can sum it up in 4 steps.

1. Determine when you want to start the journey
1. Make sure you plan it around a time that you can dedicate self to Daddy and not be distracted by other events (i.e. vacation, work events, or children activity that cause you to have little or no time)
2. Set a time you would actually pray. I dedicated 1 hour out my day for prayer...If you new to this prayer thing or actually this is your first time dedicating time to praying I would set at time between 30mins-1hour (Got to give Daddy time to talk back)
3. Go in with an open heart and listening ear
2. Buy a Prayer Journal
1. This can be a simple note book you maker as prayer journal or it can actually be a prayer journal purchased from your local Walmart, Target, or Christian Book Store (it all depends on your budget)
3. Make a list in your prayer journal of things your are praying for, be specific in your list. 
4. Write down in your prayer journal the people in your inner circle . Your inner circle is a reflection of you. They constantly need to be people that you are interceding for because they influence your world
5. Make a list what you are expecting Daddy to do when these 21 days are over. If you go to Daddy with expections then you will be more persistent in your prayer time.
6. Be consistent
1. You may miss your set time, that's ok don't get discourage, just make sure you make time to pray
2. It's ok if you don't do the whole time. Daddy is not concern with time, he is concern with the conversation. He delights in the opportunity to grace you with his presence
