Preparing Our Hearts

Let Us Praise

O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my every thought when far away. You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. You both precede and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to know!
I can never escape from your spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the place of the dead, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me and your strength will support me. I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night – but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are both alike to you. You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous – and how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God! They are innumerable! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up in the morning, you are still with me! Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. (Psalm 139)
Lord I lift your Wonderful Name in Praise, for You are the Great God of heaven and earth My maker and sustainer.

Most Holy One to Your Holy tabernacle we come to worship, O Lord we bow down in Your Holy Presence. To Your Name we give glory for You are our loving God and fortress, our stronghold and our deliverer, our shield, our shelter in the midst of every storm.

Let Us Pray Heavenly Father, prepare my heart for worship, remove all which is displeasing to You. Let nothing but Your Holy Spirit reign in me, filling me with Your goodness, grace, mercy, faith and love. I humbly bow in prayer asking for cleansing, remove this heart of stone and replace it with a heart of flesh. Renew in me a right spirit. O Father let my praise, my worship truly be for real let it flow not just from my lips but from my soul until it reflects you and become a sweet fragrance unto You. Lord I love you may my adoration be in my walk, my speech, my all, that You are magnified, lifted up and given all Glory. In Jesus Name, Amen.
