“Worship is a
way of seeing the world in the light of God.” – Abraham Joshua Heschel
When we
deliver a prayer of worship to honor God for who God is, our heart felt prayer can be complemented with adoration and praise.
PSALM 27 GNT
27 The Lord
is my light and my salvation;
I will fear no one.
The Lord
protects me from all danger;
I will never be afraid.
2 When evil
people attack me and try to kill me,
they stumble and fall.
3 Even if a
whole army surrounds me,
I will not be afraid;
even if
enemies attack me,
I will still trust God.[b]
4 I have
asked the Lord for one thing;
one thing only do I want:
to live in
the Lord's house all my life,
to marvel there at his goodness,
and to ask for his guidance.
5 In times of
trouble he will shelter me;
he will keep me safe in his Temple
and make me secure on a high rock.
6 So I will
triumph over my enemies around me.
With shouts of joy I will offer sacrifices
in his Temple;
I will sing, I will praise the Lord.
7 Hear me,
Lord, when I call to you!
Be merciful and answer me!
8 When you
said, “Come worship me,”
I answered,
“I will come, Lord.”
9 Don't hide yourself from me!
Don't be
angry with me;
don't
turn your servant away.
You have been
my help;
don't leave me, don't abandon me,
O God, my savior.
10 My father
and mother may abandon me,
but the Lord will take care of me.
11 Teach me,
Lord, what you want me to do,
and lead me along a safe path,
because I have many enemies.
12 Don't
abandon me to my enemies,
who attack me with lies and threats.
13 I know
that I will live to see
the Lord's goodness in this present life.
14 Trust in
the Lord.
Have faith, do not despair.
Trust in the
Lord.
