To Focus on My Prayers in Worship
Heavenly Father,
Sundays are sacred. When we set aside this day of Sabbath, we do so to engage with you together in worship. There you speak to us through your Word, guiding and directing us, but also convicting and comforting us through your law and gospel. In doing so, you feed our faith.
One of the natural responses of a healthy faith is to speak to you in prayer. Worship provides us with many opportunities to bring our requests and intercessions to you in prayer, and to thank and praise you as well. Let me be particularly mindful of my prayers this morning, focusing on the words being spoken while also expressing them with the confident faith that you are listening and will answer according to your rich grace. Let my worship set the tone for a prayer-filled week, regularly tapping into the privilege of talking to you and bringing before you all that is on my mind and heart.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
