God blesses those who seek after him. Pray for your church services. Prespare your heart to worship Him. Church is about what you do for God, not what He does for you! Worship God with all your being!
With what attitude do you enter a worship service?
With what attitude do you enter into prayer with your Lord?
"Enter his gates with thanksgiving: go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and bless his name. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation." Psalm 100:4-5 NLT
If thou would thus leave thy heart with God on Saturday night, thou should find it with him in the Lord's day morning. Puritan preacher Geroge Swinnock
Let us give thanks for God's goodness!
Imagine yourself entering the gates at the entrance to the temple alongside a throng of people gathering to praise the Lord. As you near the courts of the temple, you are swept up in the words of this prayer uttered by all those around you: "Enter his gates with thanksgiving…" This prayer functioned as a call to worship for people entering the temple. It helped the people to focus their thoughts on God and his good gifts to them. It set a tone of thankfulness for the worship service that would follow.
Let the words of this prayer focus your thoughts on God's goodness to you. Come into his presence with thanksgiving and praise on your lips. This goes for personal prayer time as well as for Sunday worship services.
It is good to begin your prayers with praise and thanksgiving. "Lord, I enter into your presence with thanksgiving and praise, for you are good."
