An Unexpected Key to a Peaceful Heart (#vibrantprayerlifeseries)

Worship is a key component of prayer. And as we dig deeper into what creates a vibrant prayer life, this is one part of prayer we cannot afford to leave out.

The Lord’s prayer begins with worship.

“Our Father in Heaven, may Your name be kept holy” (Matthew 6:9 NLT). We know that God’s throne is always surrounded with worshipers saying “holy, holy, holy.” (Isaiah 6:3 & Revelations 4:8)

Worship is a central theme in the Bible and is often included in any communication with God. Just read any three Psalms, and you’ll probably find worship in at least one, if not all of them.

Worship is, simply put, “the expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.” (source) It’s like the love language of words of affirmation. We know God is wonderful, kind, merciful, omniscient, holy, and powerful, the Creator, our Savior, and perfect in all His ways. So we just speak it. That is worship. Worship is not a special mood at church, or a type of music or only appropriate for a group setting.

We can worship in the shower, when we're fearful in the night, at the grocery store, and when we’re tucking our children in for the night. Worship is probably the biggest part of a vibrant prayer life that there is. When we worship so much happens.

Our hearts change.

God is glorified.

Peace and joy fill us.

The devil becomes powerless before worship.

Worship is a weapon.
