Praising God for His divine qualities

In us both the divine qualities and evil qualities are mixed up together. It is our
duty to have the evil nature eliminated from us through the meditation of God’s attributes. Prayer
to God is very useful for this purpose.
· Oh God you are the Everlasting Being. You were not created by somebody else and you
are the eternal and self-existent person. So we thank you.
· Oh God, you are the Light. Hence you have made the Sun and moon and the stars and
gave light to them. You have given light to the eyes of all the creatures to see around.
Hence we praise you.
· Oh God you are the knowledge and Wisdom. So you have bestowed knowledge and
wisdom to the hosts of angels, to men and to all the creatures. By that wisdom countless
mysteries are being revealsed and explained. You were revealed to our knowledge. So
we offer our praises to you.
· Oh God you are the Love. All the creatures in the creation love one another so also do
men love one another. Hence we praise you.
· Oh God you are the just God. Hence you forgive us. Inspite of that you will punish the
people who do wrong and also you can forgive them. Hence we salute you.
· Oh God you are the Holy one. Though there is sin the world, there remains the holiness
as well. There is cleanliness in the rain water and tin the fruits. Though there is sin in
men there remains the holiness also. Hence we salute you.
· Oh God you are the power. Hence, you have given the power to the men and to the other
creatures so they are able to walk and work. Hence we offer our gratefull praises to you.
· Oh God you are the Omnipresent God, therefore everywhere prevails your honour which
includes love, life, holiness, your workmanship and your protection. Hence our grateful
thanks to you.
· Oh God you are without form. Hence you are not visible to us sinners. Though
you are not visible God, You appear to some in visions and to some in dreams. So we
offer our hearty thanks.
· Oh God you are Sovereign Being. You are the Independent one by nature. You
do not need any advice from others. Hence you do everything on your own. So we
thank you.Oh God you have given your wonderful and divine qualities to angels and to
human beings as well. For that we offer our praises. One of the angels after failling into
sin lost your good qualities, Likewise, human beings having fallen in the sin, have
been losing almost all of your qualities. Even then you are showing long-suffering
towards them. So we praise you. Oh God, you will bestow your talents to those who
prazy to you. So, we bless you. Oh God you have sent your beloved son Jesus Christ
into the world and in Him you have manifested your qualities. So we offer our profuse
thanks to you. Oh God, if we examine and observe everything in the creation, we can
easily find your Good qualities in it. Hence, we praise you. And Oh God, after
removing evil nature from the believers, you are taking them to Heaven. There, they
have been enjoying your great qualities forever. So we ffer our sincere and pure praises.
