Tag: <span>what is worship</span>


“Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”   Colossians 3:17


Thoughts on today’s verse

Everything! All! No matter what we say, no matter what we do, it is to be offered as a gift of thanks to God with Jesus’ name, power, and honor attached! This makes all of life our worship and thanksgiving to God. There’s no such thing as going to worship; if we live, if we talk, if we act it’s worship. So how has your worship been lately?

Prayer:

Almighty and Most Holy God, I want all of my life to be lived out to your glory, a living testament of thanks to you for the grace you have given me in Jesus. While I do not always do this as well as I would like, I lovingly offer you my words, my actions, my heart and my mind to bring you glory by doing your will. Please, use your Spirit to remove the areas of self-deception from my life so that weakness and hypocrisy will not rob my discipleship of its intended worship of your majesty. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Thoughts by Men thoughts by Phil Ware

Do you struggle to know how to worship God?

Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord! I have fled to you for refuge. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!Psalm 143:8-10

Often we think worship is reserved for the times when we sing praises to God in our weekend services. But worship is so much more than just singing praises. We can sing and yet not worship God. Worship comes from the heart. It must come from a place of humility where we acknowledge we need God, that we are dependent on Him, that we cannot do anything without Him.

One way we worship God is through simple prayer — pouring out our hearts to Him, declaring our frailness and His strength, our simple-mindedness and His wisdom, our need and His provision. Just as a loyal citizen kneels before their king to declare their submission to his decisions, laws, and decrees, we proclaim the same thing when we pray. Turning to God in prayer for guidance and help declares, “You are God and I am not.” In so doing we worship our Maker.

In the above verses, David declares his dependence. Kneeling before his King, he offers his trust, asking for guidance and surrendering to God’s leadership. This is sweet, holy worship!

Do you struggle to know how to worship God? Start by doing what David did. Offer your trust, surrender to His leadership, and be willing to follow wherever He leads. This is worship in its purest form and it pleases the heart of our Father!

Let us hear of Your unfailing love each morning, for we trust you. Show us where to walk, for we give ourselves to you. Rescue us from our enemies, Lord; we run to you to hide us. Teach us to do your will, for You are our God. May your gracious Spirit lead us forward on a firm footing. Amen.

Do you know Jesus in a personal way?  Do you desire that intimate relationship that this author has?  Knowing Him starts with a simple prayer of surrender and it grows from there.  Here is a sample prayer:

Lord Jesus, I want to know You personally. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life to You and ask You to come in as my Savior and Lord. Take control of my life. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.

It starts now!


If you prayed this prayer we would love to hear from you . If you would like to know God deeper we can connect you with an email mentor and/or send you some great links.
