Testimony
There was a woman named Grace who had always felt distant from God despite attending church faithfully. She knew about prayer, read the Bible daily, and sang praises, yet her heart often felt dry and disconnected. She longed to experience God’s presence deeply, not just go through the motions of religion.
One morning, Grace began a daily practice of a Prayer of Adoration, intentionally focusing on praising God for His attributes His mercy, holiness, faithfulness, and majesty. She didn’t ask for anything; she simply lifted her heart in worship, acknowledging God for who He is.
Over time, her perspective transformed. Moments of stress became opportunities to declare God’s greatness. Even in trials, her heart overflowed with joy and trust, because she had cultivated an intimate connection with the Lord through adoration. Grace realized that when you worship God simply for who He is, He meets you in ways words cannot describe.
This is why the Prayer of Adoration matters it shifts our focus from our struggles to God’s glory, deepens intimacy, strengthens faith, and transforms hearts from mere religion to genuine, Spirit-led worship.
