A Heart of Worship

Leviticus 20:8 declares:
“Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the Lord, who makes you holy.”

Jehovah Mekoddishkem reminds us that our godliness and character are not something we can achieve on our own, it is God who sanctifies and shapes us as we yield to Him.

Jehovah Mekoddishkem, you are the one who sanctifies and builds our heart to worship only You. We come before You with hearts open and humble, acknowledging that true worship begins within us. As we create, sing, or lead in worship, may our focus always be on glorifying You and not ourselves. Let the songs we offer not only reflect Your greatness but be accompanied by lives that mirror Your holiness.

Lord, build within us godliness and character, that our lives may testify of Your goodness. Teach us to be pure in heart, steadfast in faith, and genuine in our devotion. Let us never value talent or production above integrity, but instead strive to honor You in both our private and public lives.

Help us to remember that worship is not a performance but a reflection of our relationship with You. Transform us daily into vessels fit for Your use, so that through our character, others may encounter Your love and truth.

In Jesus’ name, we pray.
