Prayer and Worship

Prayer and worship compose the heart of the devotional life and are essential for a close relationship with God. But too often our prayer is nothing more than a list of requests, and our worship happens only in church. What does it mean to really communicate with God? And how can we enter his presence in the midst of our daily lives? Using examples from the book of Psalms, this guide presents many different and sometimes unexpected ways to come before God in prayer and worship. This includes wrestling with God, pleading with God, lamenting to God, and longing for God. Conveniently organized for individual or group study, Prayer and Worship can help us to bring God into every part of our lives. The Renovaré Spiritual Formation Guides, created by Richard Foster and the team behind The Renovaré Spiritual Formation Bible and the longstanding A Spiritual Formation Workbook, are guidebooks providing tangible lessons for how to tackle the challenge of becoming spiritually transformed. Renovaré (from the Latin, meaning “to renew”) is an intrachurch movement committed to the renewal of the Church of Jesus Christ in all her multifaceted expressions. Founded by bestselling author and well-known speaker Richard J. Foster, Renovaré provides individual churches with a balanced, practical, effective small-group strategy for spiritual growth.
