What does “praise” God mean? Praise is different from thanksgiving, confession,
intercession, etc. Praise is bragging on God before other people. It cannot be done when
we are alone. To say praise God is NOT praising God, but calling on other people
listening to declare God’s nature and His works. Praise is telling others what kind of God
we serve, His nature (all-powerful, all-knowing, etc.) and what He has done (He has
created the universe, He has revealed Himself to us, He has saved us, He takes care of us
like a Shepherd, etc.)
