Prayer Insights

By: Dr. Steve Swihart

Sometimes your best praying will not involve speaking, but listening. And sometimes your best listening will take place when you get in a restful location and play worship music.

My digital camera has a battery that must be recharged after a certain amount of use. The same thing is true in prayer. After a certain amount of praying, day after day, it is a good thing to break the routine and recharge your “spiritual batteries.” Good worship music is one of the best gifts the Lord has given us to refresh and renew our spirit.

Intercession tends to focus on people and problems, while worship focuses on the majesty of God. Obviously, our best praying comes as a result of the overflow of worship. Be sure your horizontal intercessions are backed up with meaningful vertical worship.
