The Lord’s Prayer
We go to prayer not to find God, but to be with him. To give him glory and honor. We submit our requests and the things on heart to God during this time. We fellowship with him.
Matthew 6:9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.’
-Pray to “OUR FATHER
-Hollow be thy name “ADORE HIS NAME/WORSHIP.”
-Your kingdom come “THY WILL BE DONE” (pause and ask “Lord I want to hear your agenda, speak to me, what do you want to say to me”)
-Give us this day our daily bread (God give me daily revelation that I need. The wisdom that I need today.)
-Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors (Lord I want to walk in forgiveness and clarity. Clean hands, pure heart. Forgive me Father. Cleanse me.)
-Lead me not into temptation and deliver us from evil.

God is in heaven, and you are on earth, so let your words be few.
Prayer of Worship
Adoration towards God, Worship is always connected to sacrifice.
Romans 12 (True and Proper Worship) Therefore, I urge you, brothers, and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good.
Psalms 29:2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.
