Jan 22 - Vignettes on Prayer
This is the second day I am talking about Psalm 100. David writes in vs 2, that we are to worship the Lord with gladness and come before His presence with singing. The first expression of prayer in this verse is worship. Worship is an attitude of the heart expressed. You will never really worship until you express it. David says worship the Lord with gladness. Prayer is that wonderful avenue in which you see
the constant blessings of God being release and it brings gladness and joy. Gladness, happiness and joy are expressions of a heart that is filled with the goodness of God. God has been good and you have seen it. Prayer is one those ways you express your gladness. David than encourages his readers to sing joyful songs to the Lord. David being a musician and singer saw this as a wonderful way to release worship and prayer. We should always begin our prayer times with songs. This prepares the ground for a release of power, and anointing. I always encourage those who I teach on prayer to start with worship go to the word, and close with prayer. Breaking it up into three segments allows focus and direction in prayer.
