“Because here's something else that's weird but true: in the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. . . If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It's the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. ― David Foster Wallace
“Nothing teaches us about the preciousness of the Creator as much as when we learn the emptiness of everything else.” ― Charles Haddon Spurgeon
“When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
A lot of times we just don’t feel like it. We are busy and distracted and tired. “Sometimes I go to God and say, "God, if Thou dost never answer another prayer while I live on this earth, I will still worship Thee as long as I live and in the ages to come for what Thou hast done already. God’s already put me so far in debt that if I were to live one million millenniums I couldn’t pay Him for what He’s done for me.” ― A.W. Tozer
I don’t want your sacrifices – I want your love. I don’t want your offerings – I want you to know me. Hosea 6:6 (LB)
If there is no laughter, Jesus has gone somewhere else. If there is no joy and freedom, it is not a church: it is simply a crowd of melancholy people basking in a religious neurosis. If there is no celebration, there is no real worship.” ― Steve Brown
But there is great blessing in worship. “When you fix your thoughts on God, God will fix your thoughts.” ―Rick Warren
The more you pray, the less you'll panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. You'll feel more patient and less pressured.” ― Rick Warren
