A prayer of praise from Revelation

The first several chapters of Revelation present letters to various churches around the Mediterranean. But, starting in Chapter 4, John begins describing visions of heaven. At the end of chapter 4, we find the twenty four "elders" offering their praise to God. Their prayer is (Revelation 4:11, KJV),

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

The prayer offers praise to God, and then describes why God deserved such praise. I like this prayer, because it's easy to memorize, and it gets right to the heart of worship.

Hey, if this prayer is what God's followers pray in heaven, then it's certainly worth us praying as well!
