When People Pray: Unlocking a Passionate Prayer LifeУзорак

Key 7: Worship Psalm 95:2 connects thanksgiving with worship, “Let us sing psalms of praise to Him.” Music can help facilitate worship, but worship is not the music we play or the songs we sing. Worship is the love, adoration, and honor we pour out to God. How do you engage with God in worship? How do you express your love? Do you sing, clap, lift your hands, dance, paint, or write poems? Whatever connects you personally with God can become your personal time of Worship. Connect with God: Worship Key 8 Listen to God’s Voice Our relationship with God has so many wonderful dimensions. We are invited to talk with God and pour out our hearts to Him as you would talk to your best friend. When you’re happy, tell Him. When you’re frustrated, tell Him. He can handle it. When you need wisdom, ask Him. What do you need from God right now? What do you need to tell God right now? After you talk to God and have read His word, be quiet, and listen to Him. It might seem weird and uncomfortable at first, but it will get easier with practice. Read the Bible slowly. Consider what it says and how it applies to you personally. Reflect on the passages you read and their implications for your life. Read the Bible prayerfully. Pray for God to open your eyes and give you insight, obedience, and intimacy as you go. God responds to us through our thoughts, our emotions, conversations with others, scripture written on our hearts, and many other ways. Why don’t you start right now?
