A Worshipper's Prayer

I am scheduled to lead worship at my church this coming Sunday, and as I was preparing for that today, I stumbled across a song called "A Worshipper's Prayer". The words really spoke to my heart so I thought I would share the chorus here.

"'Cause here I am
And like a thousand times before, I sing again
And when all my simple words have found their end

Once again I'm even more amazed
By the beauty and the mystery of Your ways
Oh, how marvelous to hear You call my name

So when there's nothing left to bring
And there's no song left to sing
Here I am"- A Pocket Full Of Rocks


This new year I am looking forward to several things. One of them is not being a student anymore. Another one is getting to spend more time with my husband and family and friends. But the thing I am looking forward to most is using my time to grow closer in my relationship with the Lord. Our small group has talked alot about how we want to see God move in big ways in our hearts and lives this year. I think that for me, I am going to see this through my worship of Him. And I don't mean through just music. As much as I love music, love to sing, love to play music, what I am really talking about is the worship of God simply through offering myself to him. Offering every part of my life. I think as Christians we tend to compartmentalize our lives. Church, school, work, etc. And God may be in some of the compartments, but He isn't in all of them. This year, I want to tear down the walls, the compartments. I want him to consume every part of me and my life. I want Him to be evident in every part of my life. In the way I talk to people. In my attitudes. In my work ethic. In everything.
I think that is what real worship is. It is simply offering ourselves, all of us to Him, allowing Him to use us in any way He chooses, even if it's uncomfortable for us.
I want to have a true worshipper's heart this year. I want to honor Him with my life. I want to be bold in my faith.
