This is the highest and most beautiful purpose of our lives—to reflect back to God the glory and honor that are rightfully His. It is an act of worship, surrender, and truth.
Here is a prayer and declaration to give Him the glory and the honor.

A Prayer of Glory and Honor
Let me give You the glory, Lord.
Not for my name,not for my story,
But for Yours—the King of Glory.
Let my every victory point to Your strength.
Let my every breath speak of Your length
Of mercy,grace, and love untold,
A story that will never grow old.
Let my life be a mirror,clear and bright,
Reflecting back Your radiant light.
Let me give You the honor, King.
The praise that only You deserve.
For every good and perfect gift,
My spirit upward,let it lift.
Let my words be filled with reverence and awe,
Let my actions be governed by Your law of love.
In the mundane and the magnificent,
Let my life say,"You are excellent."
“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” (Revelation 4:11)
So I lay down my crown, my pride, my all,
Before Your throne,I humbly fall.
I have nothing to offer that is truly mine,
But a heart that is grateful,a life that is Thine.
Take this day, my work, my rest,
And let it be for You,and by You, blessed.
Let every moment,hidden or seen,
Be for Your glory,pure and clean.
To You be the glory and the honor, forever and ever.
Not to me.
Not to us.
But to Your holy name alone.
Amen.

How We Give God Glory and Honor:
This is not just a prayer for a moment, but a posture for a lifetime. We give God glory and honor by:
1. Living a Life of Worship: Making our entire life—work, relationships, rest—an act of worship (1 Corinthians 10:31).
2. Acknowledging Him in All Our Ways: Trusting Him and giving Him credit for our wisdom, direction, and success (Proverbs 3:5-6).
3. Bearing Fruit: Living in such a way that our actions point people to the goodness of our Father in heaven (John 15:8).
4. Speaking Praise: Using our words to testify of His goodness and to thank Him continually (Hebrews 13:15).
5. Humbling Ourselves: Taking the lower seat and refusing to seek our own glory, but always pointing to Him (James 4:10).
May your life be a continuous song of glory and honor to the One who is worthy of it all.
