WEEKLY WORSHIP GUIDE

No Christian really needs to be convinced that godliness is the goal.  God’s plan is that we would be conformed into the image of Jesus.  Jesus told us that it is enough to be like the master.  The Psalmist helps us to know what godliness looks like not only in our our own life, but also in the life of the ones who will influence us.

Discover:

• How can the Psalmist say that he is "poor and needy"?
• What are the implications of the fact that the Psalmist calls upon the Lord in the day of his trouble?
• Do you honestly believe that God is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness?  Why or why not?

 
Nurture:

• Do you tend to see yourself in light of who God is or in light of those around you?  Why does that matter?
• Are you quick to notice when the Lord gladdens your soul?  Why or why not?
• Is it easy or difficult for you to ask God for a sign of His favor upon you?  Why or why not?

 
Act:

• Every time you pray this week, ask the Lord to gladden your soul and see what happens.  Commit to write down such instances no matter how little or big.
• Every time you pray this week, thank the Lord for all the ways you know He has delivered you AND for all the ways in which you are unaware.  Take note of instances that you notice no matter how little or big.

Hymn Of Heaven

O Lord our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit…you have used the saints of old to teach us, your sons and daughters in the faith, to cry out to you when we are in trouble. You have taught us, your servants and ambassadors upon your mission, to humble our desperate hearts in prayer to you when we need your help…You have taught us to pray to you as your disciples and co-workers doing life and Kingdom business with You. You taught us not to be afraid of you…not to be timid in our requests for your powerful help in time of our need. So we lift up our souls to you O Lord…we talk to you with confidence…with faith in You and Your promised goodness and mercy and grace and abundant love toward us, our church family, and our friends in the faith around the world. Thanks Lord…we will continue to incline our ear to hear you as you incline yours to hear us…btw…You don’t owe us a thing…You saved us and called us to follow you…so we pray like you. In Jesus name Amen.
