The Power of Praise and
Thanksgiving

Praise means to express approval and appreciation for what is taking place. To praise with understanding means to acknowledge that, at the end of the day, God, the King of all creation, will allow nothing to happen in our lives, except it be for our good in further conforming us to the image of His Son.

Words are also seeds, and when dropped into the invisible spiritual substance, they grow and bring forth after their kind. "Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" Farmers and gardeners choose their seed with the greatest care. They reject every defective seed they find and in this way make sure of the coming crop. To have prosperity in your home and in your business you will have to exercise the same intelligent discrimination in the choice of your seed words.

•You should expect prosperity when you keep the prosperity law.

Therefore, be thankful for every blessing that you gain and as deeply grateful for every demonstration as for an unexpected treasure dropped into your lap. This will keep your heart fresh; for true thanksgiving may be likened to rain falling upon ready soil,refreshing it and increasing its productiveness.
“If anyone could tell you the shortest, surest way to all happiness and perfection, he must tell you to make it a rule to. thank and praise God for everything that happens to you. For it is certain that whatever seeming calamity happens to you, if you thank and praise God for it, you turn it into a blessing.”
(William Law)


Someone called me up recently and said, “I am looking desperately for a position.” I replied, “Don’t look desperately for it, look for it with praise and thanksgiving, for Jesus Christ, the greatest of metaphysicians, said to pray with praise and thanksgiving.” Praise and thanksgiving open the gates, for expectancy always wins. Of course, the law is impersonal, and a dishonest person with rich thoughts will attract riches—but, “a thing ill-got has ever bad success,” as Shakespeare says. It will be of short duration and will not bring happiness.
(The secret door to success by florence scovel shinn)


Praise what you have, be it ever so little, and insist that it is constantly growing larger.

Through an inherent law of mind, we increase whatever we praise.

The whole creation responds to praise, and is glad. Animal trainers pet and reward their charges with delicacies for acts of obedience children glow with joy and gladness when they are praised. Even vegetation grows best for those who praise it. We can praise our own abilities, and our very brain cells will expand and increase in capacity and intelligence when we speak words of encouragement and appreciation to them.
When we praise the richness and opulence of our God, this thoughtstuff. is tremendously increased in our mental atmosphere; it reflects into everything that our minds and our hands touch. When common things are impregnated with our consciousness of divine substance,they are transformed according to our ideals. Through persistent application of the Judah faculty, a failing business proposition can be praised into a successful one. Even inanimate things seem to receive the word of praise, responding in orderly obedience when, before,they have seemed unmanageable.

A woman used the law on her sewing machine, which she had been affirming to be in good order. It gave her no trouble afterward. A linotype operator received a certain spiritual treatment given him by a healer at a certain hour, and his linotype, which had been acting badly, immediately fell into harmonious ways. A woman living in a country town had a rag carpet on her parlor floor; she had for years hoped that this carpet might be replaced by a better one. She heard of the law and began praising the old carpet. Greatly to her surprise, inside of two weeks she was given a new carpet from an unexpected source.

Turn the power of praise upon whatever
you wish to increase. Give thanks that it is now fulfilling your ideal.

The faithful law, faithfully observed, will reward you. You can praise yourself from weakness to strength, from ignorance to intelligence,from poverty to affluence, from sickness to health. The little lad with a few loaves and fishes furnished the seed that, through the prayer and thanksgiving of Jesus, increased sufficiently to feed five thousand people.


Do not magnify obstacles; magnify the Lord—that means, magnify God’s power.

The average person will dwell on all the obstacles and hindrances which are there to prevent his good coming to pass. You “combine with what you notice,” so if you give obstacles and hindrances your undivided attention, they grow worse and worse.

Praise the Lord o my soul and all that is within Me praise his Holy Name
