AE 1210 - "To praise God"

AE 1210
"To praise God" signifies confession and worship . . .
for a person must needs praise and glorify the Lord,
that is, give praise and glory to Him,
when he acknowledges in heart
that there is nothing of good in himself,
and that he can do nothing of himself,
and on the other hand,
that all good is from the Lord,
and that the Lord can do all things.
When a person is in this acknowledgment,
he puts aside what is his own,
which belongs to the love of self,
and opens all things of his mind,
and thus gives room for the Divine to flow in
with good and with power.
