Prayer as Worship

January 1, 2023

Matthew 6:9 — Prayer is our invitation to commune with God Himself and begins as worship. By addressing our Father in heaven, we acknowledge His place in the world and our lives. We honor His name and His power. The spoken words to a loving heavenly Father are a testimony to His authority and divinity. We worship our Father when we acknowledge His rightful place on the throne, and we express our faith, confidence, and hope in a sovereign God when we make our requests known. To pray is to worship.

This is part of our sermon series for the 40 Days of Prayer, 2023. This year we focus on Prayer and follow the Lord’s Prayer in our sermon series. This is also based on the C&MA’s resources for the 40 Days of Prayer.
