Do you remember those multiple-choice tests in school? The really tricky option was always, “D-All of the above.”
Over the coming three weeks we will dig into the topic of worship. We will look at the WHY of worship, the WHO of worship, and the HOW of worship. Our prayer is that we will all discover that worship is bigger, more powerful, and more beautiful than we ever dreamed. Should we worship A) At church, B) At home, C) In the car, or D) All of the above? When it comes to worship, the answer is often, “All of the above!”
We are going to learn how to encounter God as worshipers at all times, in all places, in the fullness of who God is. Let’s pray for eyes to see His glory, ears to hear His voice, and lives ready to be transformed by His presence!

Reading for the Week of March 6-12
Day 1- Psalm 51
Day 2- Daniel 6
Day 3- Daniel 9
Day 4- Jonah 1-2
Day 5- Jonah 3-4
Day 6- Luke 22
Bonus- Psalm 22
Memorize/Reflect - “Pray continually.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
Personal Reflection- Do I really feel free to tell God anything and everything that is on my heart? Why hold back, He already knows?
Discussion- Do you feel free to tell God your fears, frustrations, and even the things you are deeply upset about? What gets in the way of us being totally honest with God in our prayer lives? How can we remove these roadblocks?
Prayer Direction- Get very honest with God in prayer this week. Use these prompters to get you started:
God, I am afraid when…
God the Provider, I really need…
Mighty Tower, I feel defenseless when…
Good Shepherd, please protect me when…
God of Grace, forgive me for…
“Live It!” Challenge - Find a place where you can have some private time with God. Lift up your prayers…out loud. Tell him everything that is on your heart. Confess, cry out, express frustration…there is something powerful about hearing your own voice speaking out loud to God!
Monthly Prayer Focus: This month we will use the CATS prayer: Confession, Adoration, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. Thanksgiving is simply stopping to thank God for what He has done for you and others. Use this week as a time to let God know that you notice so much of what He does for you and let Him know you are deeply thankful.
Resources online or in the Shoreline Bookstore: If you want to go deeper into the topic of prayer, consider reading Nick Harrison’s amazing devotional book, Magnificent Prayer. Also, there is The Prayer Bible written by Ben Patterson (who preached two weeks at Shoreline last Summer) with daily devotionals. You can review both of these and order them at your own Shoreline Bookstore this morning.

Memorize/Reflect - “When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice” (John 10:4)
Personal Reflection- How has God answered your prayers in the past? How can the reality that God hears and answers your prayers inspire you to pray more?
Discussion- Why does God enjoy communicating with His children in prayer? What can we do that will help us remember to talk with God in simple and natural ways as we go through a normal day?
Prayer Direction- As you address God in prayer, use various names. Don’t just say, “Dear God…” This is fine, but there is something rich about addressing God as: Great Creator, Sustainer of my life, Savior of my soul, Mighty Tower, Good Shepherd, Bread of Life…As you use various names for God, let the reality of who He is guide your prayers.
“Live It!” Challenge - God is our Shepherd and we are His sheep. We can recognize His voice. Take time this week and really listen for the voice of God. Set aside ten minutes and simply ask God to speak and lead you.
Monthly Prayer Focus: This month we will use the CATS prayer: Confession, Adoration, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. Adoration is praising God for who He is…His attributes and characteristics. Take time each day of the week and reflect on 10-15 specific qualities of God’s character. As you do, adore Him for who He is and how you experience this reality in your life. You might even want to write these down as you go through the week.
