The prayer of Praise and Worship.

The prayer of Praise and Worship.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Psalms 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

There are different kinds of prayer mentioned in the Bible. Ephesians 6. 18 says praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.

The prayer of praise and worship, also known as ministering to the Lord, is the highest form of prayer. In this prayer, you are not asking God for anything. You just look to Jesus in the word and adore Him, love Him, worship Him and praise Him. You lift Him high, you magnify and exalt Him. You are in awe of Him. You refuse to focus on the problems and issues of life instead you focus on and acknowledge His greatness, His omnipotence, His majesty, His ability, His provision and His goodness. You quote verses like, Jesus you are the good shepherd, the true vine, the door of the sheep, you are the resurrection and the life, the beginning and the end. Find Scriptures that talk about Jesus and worship Him with such verses and also with your unlimited language of tongues. This prayer creates an atmosphere where the Spirit of God can freely move. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. When God shows up, deliverance happens, direction comes, revelations begin and things start changing. Glory to God.

Friend, take some time every day and worship God and acknowledge His greatness. Make this prayer your lifestyle. As you do, you will carry the manifest presence of God wherever you go. Your praise is God's throne for He inhabits the praises of His people. As you pray this prayer daily, God will become bigger in you than the highest and greatest mountains of your life and the mountains will begin to melt by the power of the Holy Spirit. 'Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!'
