Word of the Day: Prayers of Worship
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:9-10
One type of prayer we can offer to God is prayers of worship or adoration. Worshiping God involves adoring Him and dedicating ourselves to Him, choosing to do His will every day. By worshiping God, we acknowledge His greatness and lordship, we lift up His name, and open our hearts to Him. In praying in worship, our focus is on God, not on ourselves.
The Bible calls us to worship God with all our hearts, not just in words, but in spirit and truth.
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
John 4:23-24
Praying in worship to God requires us to examine our hearts and our entire being more closely. How can I please God more? How can I draw closer to Him and His will for my life?
Pray every day, putting God first in your life, acknowledging His love and all He has done for you. Express your desire to live in obedience and inquire how you can do His will. Pray and worship the One who deserves it, the Lord God and Savior who loves you so much.

He always does something; we just have to trust and wait. In due time, you will see His movement in your life, and your faith will be strengthened.
1I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.Psalm 40:1-2
Whatever pain you are suffering now or the wounds in your heart, bring it all before the Lord with faith and confidence. Persevere in prayer and trust in God's love for you. He will not only help you overcome it but also grow stronger in your journey with Him.

Word of the Day: Overcome the giants in your life with Jesus
Some challenges seem too big, and some enemies too impossible to defeat. And if we depend on our own strength, it's true! But when facing the giant Goliath, David knew he wasn't fighting alone. His strength was in God.
45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
1 Samuel 17:45 and 47
David's strength came from the Lord God Almighty. David trusted that God would work and faced Goliath full of this confidence. Not only that, he didn't seek recognition or his own glory, but rather sought for God to be glorified through his actions.
Examine your heart today: how do you face the giants in your life? Do you do it with your own strength or do you go to God for him to fight for you? Do you trust that you will see the power of God in action and wait on him?
In the toughest moments, when it seems there's no way out, remember that you can always trust in God. He gives you the strength to overcome life's gigantic obstacles. Defeat the giants in your life with Jesus and for his glory!
Put your trust in God and you will overcome the giants!
