I know God has called me and blessed me with a heart of worship, thought music, art, dance and creativity. I want my heart to always remain towards Him. I asked Him to remind me the beauty of worshiping Him with my whole heart.
I asked Him to teach me no matter where I am or what I am doing, whether on a stage or off, with a mic or without, to keep my heart content to worship Him alone with abandon.
I do believe He has blessed me with the ability to lead people into heartfelt worship of Him. I never, ever, ever want it to be about me. How I look or sound, or how I am perceived. Truly it is only by the Spirit that anything I do, say or think can be a fragrant praise offering to Him. What I really need is for Him to keep me from distractions and to give me a true heart of worship. To purify my heart and cleanse away my selfishness. For Him to teach me how to worship him and how to lead worship on and off a stage. I want my whole life to be worship not just when I am singing. I want (by the power of the Holy Spirit) to live my life in such away that I am leading people to worship God all the time.
As I go into my new job in a secular environment based completely on physical appearance, it will be a battle to keep my focus completely on God. I need His Holy Spirit to help me to live in a way that is worshipful to Him. In a way that leads others around me to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. It is a different sort of stage and much more challenging than just a 5-6 song set with a microphone.
Lord, by your grace teach me to worship you and lead others to worship you with my whole life. Amen.
I want to affirm in you God's gift of worship! It's there. Don't forget it :) but "worship" means so much more than singing. I know you know this, but I know that I forget it. We are called to live a life of worship. day in, day out. This is an amazing place for you to let God mold a new branch of worship within you without falling back into the worship you are most comfortable with.
