Reflection and Prayer by Levi Bird (9th grade)
Psalm 150
Our willingness to give God praise often depends on our circum- stances. How can we adopt amore consistent mindset of praise and thanksgiving?
Reflection: We can adopt a more consistent mindset of praise and thanksgiving by looking at everything good as a blessing from God, from everything we see to the music we hear. If we realize that everything has a good side, a blessing, then we can truly achieve this.
Prayer: Dear God, thank you for everything you created. Help us in our growing faith with you, Lord. Praise be to you. In the name of your Son, Jesus. Amen.
