Dear Father,
Forgive us for times when we’ve just gone through the motions of worship, following the lead of others, wanting to fit in, being led by our heads rather than our hearts. Soften our hearts, Lord, to be fully devoted to You and You alone, free from the distractions of the world around us. Like Ezekiel 36:26 describes, put a new heart and new spirit within us; replace our hearts of stone with hearts of flesh. Help us to cultivate worship in our lives by studying Your Word, giving of ourselves and our resources, recognizing Your authority and majesty, and living holy lives pleasing to You. Lead us in worshipping You through Your Spirit and the truth of Your Word, and as Psalm 96:9 instructs, help us to worship You in the splendor of Your holiness.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
