Start With Praising God
Try to make the first good impression at the beginning of the function and the first lines to make a good impression are starting by praising God. You can say the following lines as an illustration.
“To start by the name of God who is merciful and benevolence, ever has existed and ever will for us to glory in anything else, would be in, as there is nothing greater than God, there is no calling greater than God.”
“O merciful God, when nobody could be for me, you were there. When my life was destroyed, you lifted me up. When I was tormented and hurt, you set me free.
No worship and love are greater than the worship of my Lord. His wisdom sings independence to my heart and complete body. So I will praise his holy name. My praise is heartfelt and strong.
I lift up my arms and voice to say: you are love and life. You are truth and justice. You are mercy and grace. And nothing can separate me from your worship and love.
You are my savior, my lord. so I cry out: Praise the Lord! Praise his great and holy name. Allah Almighty! Glory Hallelujah! in Christ, my soul flies free! In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
“O Lord, Let me hear you. My soul is weary. nervousness, scared, and doubt Surround me, On each side.
Yet your feet mercy cannot be held back from those that cry out to you, hear my cry.
Let me trust in your mercy. Show me how. Free me. Free me from anxiety and stress. That I may find relaxation and rest in your loving arms. Amen.”
