Importance of Prayer....Living a Life of Worship

Psalms 5

 1.  Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.
 2.  Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my king, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
 3.  My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

Today I was thinking about what I should write about as it pertains to living a life of worship and prayer kept sticking in my heart and in the verses I read.  Prayer is an integral part of living a life of worship.

In the verse above from Psalms we see the importance of starting each day with prayer.  When we start out each morning praying to God we open up our lives to live in the will of the Lord for each day.  We become more focused on what we can do for others as well as what we can do to praise and glorify God.  It sets the tone for our days.

Does it take a specific prayer or a specific time.  No...absolutly not!  We can use the form of prayer that Jesus taught us in the Lord's prayer because that is a good formula to follow but sometimes we  just need to have a one on one chat with our Abba Father.  Form and ritual is not what the Lord wants for our lives.  He wants to have an intimate relationship with His creation...you, me and everyone He created. 

My challenge for you is to atleast say good morning to the Lord every morning and then say a little prayer.  You will then see how that begins to break down barriers in your life. 

Have you prayed today?
