Prayer And Worship: A Spiritual Formation Guide

When thinking about the Christian life, two things stand out. Prayer and worship. These are experiences unique to the religious life, and they compose the heart of the devotional life. This guide, which focuses deeply on the Psalms, often considered the prayerbook of the Bible, illuminates new ways to understand the life of prayer and worship, and how growing these two elements of faith life brings us closer and closer to God.

Prayer and worship compose the heart of the devotional life and are essential practices for a close relationship with God. But too often our prayer is nothing more than a checklist of requests, and our worship happens only in church. What does it mean to communicate with God? How do we enter his presence in the midst of our daily lives? Utilizing the beloved book of the Psalms, this guide reveals many different ways to come before God in prayer and worship, including wrestling with God, pleading with God, lamenting to God, and longing for God. Conveniently organized for individual or group study, "Prayer and Worship" offers insights and avenues to help us bring every part of our lives before God and truly enter his presence.
