Worship and Prayer: A matter of the heart

As We Worship:
I just have worship and prayer on my heart from lasts night service at Loyal Baptist Church in the Bronx.  It amazes me how good God is and we truly have the capacity to worship Him in spirit and in truth if our hearts are fixed on Him.  In order to worship the Lord thy God it takes reverence and adoration for God.  It takes as David knew all too well to ask the Lord to create in me a clean heart and renew in me the right spirit.  He prayed, Lord please don't take your Holy Spirit from me.  God will not remove his Spirit from us but David's humility is a reflection of the position we ought to have each and every time we pray before the Lord.  We ought to count it all joy for the life we have in Christ Jesus.  We have the Spirit, the Holy Spirit residing within us and we ought to live as such by praying always that those things that are not of God will be extracted from our hearts that we may draw closer to Him.

As we worship,
1.  Worship God in spirit and in truth
2.  Pray always

Lord God, how I adore You......
