Let my internal dialogue give Him praise

A few weeks ago I felt GOD leading me to a new prayer. . .

Let my internal dialogue give You praise.

If you have ever studied the number of words that we speak to ourselves each day, it is mind boggling. And one of the things that GOD has really brought to my attention the past few years, is how negative my internal dialogue is. I think most of us, when we really start to get to know JESUS better, must take a hard look at what we are telling ourselves each day. And He has really brought me far. Now when I am driving and someone cuts me off, although my initial reaction often is to get mad, I catch myself and ask GOD to reveal Himself to that person more today than ever before. And my road rage is slowly becoming less of an issue.

This is just one area GOD showed me that my internal dialogue needed to line up with what The Word teaches. But then He took it up one step to. . .

Let my internal dialogue give You praise.

Which means that all my thoughts, whether spoken or not, will be for His glory. I'm so not there yet, but when I think of this, I am reminded of 1 Thessalonians 5:17 that tells us to continually pray. When I was a kid, and didn't really understand much about what it means to live the life that JESUS intended for me, I would read this verse and get totally overwhelmed. But as I get to know Him better, I find myself just chit-chatting with Him more and more.

And the more my internal dialogue is aimed at Him and the more aware I become of Him always being near me, then. . .

My internal dialogue gives Him praise.
