Remember to Praise“Encourage everyone that is alive to praise the Lord!”

(Psalm 150:6, paraphrased).

Praise brings hope and strength! Praise brings light and life!

When you are thanking Jesus for the good things in your life and praising Him for all He has done for you, this

reminds you of how God has cared for you and that He will continue to do so.

You’re the greatest!

Thank You for this beautiful

world!

Jesus, You are loving, powerful, caring, a great friend, fun, happy, strong, wise, and dependable!

Praise helps you to keep your mind focused on Jesus and His love for you.

“He w ill keep in perfect peace all those who trust in him, whose thoughts turn often to the Lord!” (Isaiah 26:3 TLB).

Thanks for loving us!

Eek! He’s praising Jesus!

You take excellent care

of us!

Forgot God’s love.

Remembering

God’s

love!

Jesus, You’re terrific!

As you learn to praise Jesus for all He’s done for you, you will gain faith in His promises! “Reverence

for God gives a man deep strength” (Proverbs 14:26 TLB).

Praise and thankfulness will help you be closer to Jesus, so you can hear His voice more clearly.

You’re a special friend!

I like being with You!

So many problems. I’ll never be happy.

Jesus, You are superhuman, fantastic! I know You can solve

my problems!“I will bless the

Lord at all times: His praise shall continually

be in my mouth!” (Psalm 34:1 KJV).

Woof!

Goo-goo!

Thankfulness

Complaint

God’s Loving

Kingdom

“God is working in you, giving you the desire and power to do what pleases him. Do everything

without complaining and arguing.” (Philippians 2:13–14 NLT).

Praise and thankfulness keep you close to Jesus!

“As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, stay close to Him, being

full of thanksgiving” (Colossians 2:6 -7, paraphrased).

I’m glad I can help Mommy!

Thanks, Jesus, for showing me a great way

to carry these heavy wet clothes!

And now for some fun! Thank

You, Jesus, for my roller

blades!

Forward with Jesus!

Jesus, we like going with You!

“Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances,

for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”

(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NLT).

So remember, when faced with a problem or heavy load, you have a choice:

You can complain and be discouraged by the work.

Or you can praise Jesus for His help and enjoy the task!
