A Worshipful Spirit

Lord, please renew a worshipful spirit within me.

Help me to not focus so much on simply getting through the day unscathed by sin or frustration, but instead to seek to joyfully worship You in all things. And let me not become prideful, attributing my successes to my own effort, seeking my own glory.

Convict me when I make my work an end in itself, when I try to simply check items off a list instead of passionately living for You. Help all my thoughts and actions to be an outpouring of the love I have for You, reflecting the joy I’ve found in Your salvation.

Train me to rejoice, to be grateful, to worship.

I ask that You put people in my life who encourage me to worship Your name; help me to be that person for others.

Let my days be saturated with worship of You, for You alone are worthy.
