For Thoughtful Consideration of Worship Attire
Heavenly Father,
Sundays are sacred. The blessing of Christian freedom means that there is no required dress code for worship. At the same time, we recognize that there is something to be said for distinguishing between secular and sacred. Since the gospel inspires our best in all areas of life, move believers to consider how what we wear in worship can reflect the worth we attach to the privilege of being in your house. Our purpose in gathering is not to draw attention to ourselves – whether positively or negatively – but to devote ourselves to you and to receive the rich spiritual banquet which you offer us in worship. Therefore, let us give humble and reverent thought to how we present ourselves each week for worship. May we glorify you in worship, not only with our songs and prayers, but even with our attention to how we thoughtfully present ourselves.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
