Worship

Worship is “the expression of reverence and adoration.” Adoration requires deep love, which means that our worship of God isn’t merely an activity but an expression of the condition of our hearts. To worship Him in Truth takes the focus off of me and my situations and sets my thoughts fully on God. The authors of the Psalms are so human and relatable: we can read the cycle they go through of praising God and processing emotions. What we read is a heart that struggles, but then reminds itself of the goodness of God, returning to a heart of worship.

It is essential to remind ourselves of the goodness of God, in our own lives and contained all throughout Scripture. It is human to deal with emotions and feelings, frustrated from not understanding what is happening around us. Remembering, recalling, and recounting God’s goodness will keep our hearts in a place of gratitude and adoration for all He has done.

PRAYER:

Father, thank You for Your faithfulness to me. There is no one like You! When I look at nature, I see Your creativity. When I look at my life, I see Your love. Even when it doesn’t feel like it, You are near. I will always remember all that You’ve done and praise You for who You are. I will daily worship You and will tell others about what You’ve done and who You are.

Note: Many of the Psalms make excellent prayers. Read and find one that resonates with you.
