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.”
