Reflect on God's attributes and praise Him for His character. Each attribute includes a definition from Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology .
Independence: God does not need us or the rest of creation for anything, yet we and the rest of creation can glorify Him and bring Him joy.
Unchangeableness: God is unchanging in His being, perfections, purposes, and promises, yet He acts and feels emotions, and acts differently in response to different situations.
Eternity: God has no beginning, end, or succession of moments in His own being, and He sees all time equally vividly, yet God sees events in time and acts in time.
Omnipresence: God does not have size or spatial dimensions and is present at every point of space with His whole being, yet God acts differently in different places.
Unity: God is not divided into parts, yet we see different attributes of God emphasized at different times.
