Without the blessing of God, our worship is empty.
We must look for God’s blessing in the place of worship.
What we must pray for is this: ‘the glory of the Lord filled the House of God’ (2 Chronicles 5:14).
* We must look for God’s blessing in the pulpit, praying that the preachers of God’s Word will be ‘clothed with salvation.’
* We must look for God’s blessing in the pews, praying that all of God’s people will ‘rejoice in His goodness’ (2 Chronicles 6:41).
Where does the blessing come from? - It comes from this: God is ‘good’ and ‘His steadfast love endures for ever’ (2 Chronicles5:13).
All of our praying for the Church can be summed up in this prayer: ‘O Lord God... Remember Your steadfast love...’ (2 Chronicles 6:42).
More than anything else, we must pray for this: ‘God’s love... poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit...’ (Romans 5:5).
