The following are Prayers of Worship from the wonderful book “Praying the Book of Revelation” by Elmer L. Towns.

 

Your Time to Worship

Thank You, God, that I’m alive, that I can wake up, and that I have another opportunity to praise You.

Thank You, God, that my problems are not greater than they are, that my health is not as bad as it could be, and that I have a desire to worship You.

Lord, I expect You to return any moment. Forgive me for not being ready and putting off Your tasks, while filling my life with selfish things.

Lord, thank You for the excitement I get thinking You might return today, that my problems will be over, that my imprisoned body will be free, that I can touch You in worship, and that You will touch me.

Lord, You are great in power to bring me to this place in life. You are loving in generosity to overlook my past mistakes. You are patient with me, even when I forget Your tasks.

Lord, I praise You for this moment in time, for the opportunity of today, and that I can worship You now.
Amen.

Your Time to Worship

Jesus, thank You for being my forgiver of sins, my reconciler to God, my resurrection from the dead, and my eternal life.

Jesus, I worship You for being the Creator of all things past, the Baby of Bethlehem, and the Returning Judge of sin.

Jesus I praise You for Your constant love, Your purity, and Your restraining patience.

Jesus, give me wisdom to know what to do today. By my strength to overcome problems, and my guide to always do right.

Amen.

What I Learned from John’s Worship in Revelation 1:1-20

I can worship Jesus when I approach death.

I can worship Jesus when I am a prisoner to my circumstances.

I can continually draw closer to Jesus even though I’ve walked with Him all my life.

My memory is an excellent help to intimate worship.

I can meet Jesus in worship, even though I’m waiting for His physical return.

Amen.
