Laying down your life in prayer daily is indeed worship, surrendering your will to His is the height of worship,  saying that His plan is the best course for your life is coming into agreement with the One who has your best in mind.  

Our flesh tends to rebell against the control of another.  We want to plan out all the details and possibilities of life as if we are actually in the driver’s seat.   Yes, ultimately our will is what determines our destiny, but the guiding hand of God has great influence on our best destiny.  Seeking His Kingdom first, His will, His glory, His Face in prayer, not just His hand of provision is one of our highest callings.   And as we take that time to wait upon the Lord, to listen for that still small voice we grow ever closer to His plan for us.   His plan which is our highest calling and destiny is what we were specifically made to accomplish in this life.

Start your day with this worship prayer.

“Lord, I submit myself to You. All that I am or hope to be, my past, hopes dreams, wishes, desires and needs, I submit everything to You, God. I submit my successes and failures, my members, thoughts, imagination, and life to You. I surrender everything to You.” 

“Now, Lord, I resist the devil and because I resist him, he must flee. I choose to draw near to You, Father and I thank You, Father, that You draw near to me.”

From: Biblical secrets of a supernatural life by Allen D. Bruce

When Papa God looks at us, He sees Jesus because as He said we are in Him.  Literally wrapped up in the blanket of grace.   I know it feels like we are still the same old person, stumbling and falling on our daily walk but the Creator of the cosmos, Yahweh Himself set things up to where those who accept Jesus’ finished work as their own salvation are forever place in Him (Jesus).

So how are we then to live?

Fully embrace the heavenly gifts from the Father of lights.  Step into the fullness of the gospel and in the power of the Spirit, live for Him.   It’s not a question of rules and regulations, do’s or don’ts.  Our walk in this life is about hearing the voice of the Lord, through the Spirit and following Him to the best of our ability.

Are we going to perform perfectly?  That’s the wrong question to ask.  Rather is our heart continually seeking His face, His presence, His power to change things here in this world.

Our one example is  Yeshua, our Messiah,  He is the perfect image of the Father and showed us how to walk this life out.  Sharing His love for everyone, reaching out with healing, blessing and restoration.  Bringing others to the saving revelation of Jesus.  So they too can be wrapped in His love.

“Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts! And in love he chose us before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence. For it was always in his perfect plan to adopt us as his delightful children, through our union with Jesus, the Anointed One, so that his tremendous love that cascades over us would glorify his grace —for the same love he has for the Beloved, Jesus, he has for us. And this unfolding plan brings him great pleasure!”

The small stream which flows through the garden of your spirit is the manifestation of the river of life in you.   It begins so small, even as a spring of life bubbling up out of your innermost being.  It’s a cool refreshing sensation on your tired feet as you sit quietly talking to Jesus in your garden.  

He says, “We have walked all day in the cool of the morning and in the glorious sunshine of midday and now it is the time of rest and reflection.  Reflection on all the things we’ve shared in our walk today.  My love for you is boundless, I showed you how much when I stretched out my arms on the cross.  Giving up everything to secure our future together was the sweetest gift of all.   Now as we walk together by this stream we’ll see how it flows together with many others into the very river of life which flows from my throne to the ends of the earth. Share this water of life with all you meet. It is pouring out from your belly to water the earth and bring eternal life with me to all.   Rejoice that I’m using you to reach all my children.”
