Where Has My Prayer Life Gone? #Justtake5Sample

Day 3 - Minute 1 – Enter In: Worship and Prayer 

Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. 

Worship is the primary ingredient for a successful prayer life. I believe that many people struggle with prayer because they only have information about who they are praying to, instead of revelation of the One they are praying to. 

When we learn to worship God, we prepare our minds and hearts for effective prayer.  Worship and prayer cannot be separated. In order to pray, we must acknowledge The One we are praying to. 

What do you believe about God? Take a moment and write down what you know is true about God, not based on information but revelation. What does your faith say about God? 

It takes faith to go to God, even in prayer. It takes another measure of faith to worship Him - not based on what we see (because what we see at times can be very discouraging) but solely on the divine truth of knowing who He is! 

Worship takes intimacy and getting over yourself! It takes crucifying the flesh daily and understanding God owes us nothing but hell. Worship isn’t something we feel, it’s what we are created to do! Worship means uncovering ourselves and removing the layers of self-righteousness because no one can approach God in that way. God wants us free in our approach to Him. Worship is the place where earth meets heaven!

I don’t know what you are facing or going through, but I dare you to OPEN YOUR MOUTH! Opening your mouth and giving God what is rightfully due to Him is the beginning of a powerful prayer life!
