When I try to worship God, I feel stifled.
I feel limited in my attempts to give Him the glory, honor, and praise so rightly due Him.
What exactly do I mean?
I mean, that when I feel the Spirit leading me...
...to go and pray with someone
...to stand before the Lord and lift up my hands to Him
...to cry out to God for forgiveness and mercy
...to get on my hands and knees and fall before Him in reverence and fear
...to cleave to Him as one cleaves to a buoy to save one from drowning
...to declare to the world that He is the Sovereign Lord and God of all above, below, and of the earth
well... I just don't...
And I'd like to know why? Why, especially when in America, we're supposed to have so much more freedom to do just that... why do I feel so limited in my pursuit of God?
Is it me?
I wouldn't doubt it if it were, but I see it in others, too... and perhaps this is where my fault lies... that I pay too much mind to myself and those around me... and far too little mind... body, heart, and soul... to God.
Oh, dear God, let me be as David, who danced with abandon before the ark of your covenant! So that I might be free to give You glory, Lord! Amen!
