Prayer Topic #5:
A Declaration of Kingdom Praise and Worship
Scripture Reading:
Psalm 147, II Chronicles 5
Reflections of the Heart:
Worship always involves the offering of gifts (time, talent, praise, money) to The King, indicating the citizen’s awareness that everything (s)he enjoys is at the pleasure of The King. ~ Dr. Myles Munroe
Scriptural Prayer:
Almighty Father, we thank You for the exuberant praise and worship during our weekend Worship Celebration. Thank You for Your Son, Jesus Christ, who makes our worship experience possible. Holy Spirit, we thank You for Your manifested presence saturating both the sanctuary and the airwaves onto our devices as we exalt the name of the King of kings and Lord of lords. You are great and perform wondrous deeds. You alone are God. We praise You for Your loving kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness. Father, through all generations You have been our home! Before the mountains were born, before You gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, You are God.
Royal Father, as Kingdom citizens, we shout with joy to You. We worship You with gladness and come before Your presence with joyful singing. You are the Lord, our God! You made us, and we are Yours. We are Your people, the sheep of Your pasture. We enter with thanksgiving and come into Your courts with praise. We give thanks to You and praise Your name. Lord, You are good; Your unfailing love continues forever and Your faithfulness to each generation. We enter into Your presence with our thanksgiving and praise. We declare that our worship and praise will produce spectacular sounds like the Levites who praised You in Your holy temple. As You inhabit our praises, we declare that salvation, healing, restoration, and deliverance will come forth. By faith, we declare that every member of the Body of Christ will worship You in spirit and truth. By doing this, we will become the true worshippers You are seeking.
List three praise scriptures that honor the Father. Meditate on these scriptures throughout the week:
Holy Spirit, since our worship is a direct reflection of our relationship with the Father, help each of us to examine that relationship and make whatever adjustments are needed so that our praise may be pleasing to our King. Let Your glory fill us and help us to live lifestyles of praise and not wait until we come to the church building to begin to exalt our King. Sanctify and purify our hearts so that our worship is a sweet aroma to God, our Father, as we sing melodious songs of praise to Him.
Merciful Father, forgive us for allowing our emotions and circumstances to dictate the level of praise that we offer to You. Forgive those who intentionally arrive late to worship services or fast forward through our virtual services to miss praise and worship. Forgive those who do not actively participate in praise and worship, wherever we are. Forgive those who are not living lives that reflect their love for You. Lord, forgive me for (list the sins that you have committed). Holy Spirit, remind us all of those we need to forgive and help us to be quick to forgive. Then, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. (Take a moment and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal names or faces of people that you may need to forgive. As He reveals them, say, “I forgive name of person(s).” Now, trust the Lord to heal any wounds in your soul caused by unforgiveness.)
Holy Spirit, help us all not to yield to temptation; but deliver us from the evil one.
Sovereign Lord, God Almighty, You are glorious! You are the Rock; Your deeds are perfect. Everything You do is just and fair. You are the faithful God who does no wrong. Now to You, the King, eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and ever. In Jesus’ name, amen.
