Psalms 103:1 – Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Tell me the ways you worship God.

Through my music, when I go fishing in the morning watching the sun rise, His Word, driving in the car, walking (enjoying His creation), with our small group (fellowship with other believers).
I don't. There's no point to anymore.
Being content that he created me unique as I am, as he created each snow flake differently. Not placing more pressure on myself that I'm not like someone else. That I have no control of my destinty, as long as I have placed my faith in Jesus. Making the best attempt n my humaness that I can in being obeident to God.

In response to Anonymous 1:52 pm… My heart breaks for you. I can’t imagine what horrific and painful experience(s) brought you to a place where you see no point in worshiping God.
I have had many, many experiences in my life that made it difficult to understand why God would even allow those situations if He really loved me as much as the Bible states. I questioned Him when my parents disowned me, when the one I committed my life to abandoned me, when my best-friend betrayed me, and even when my health failed me. What I learned from those questions is that He was always there!!! I learned that no matter what life brings my way, God is still worthy of my praises. He is still the God who spoke the world into being, separated the waters from land, and told the seas where to stop. He created the delicate intricacies of the human body to function in such marvelous ways…just to name a few…and I have the opportunity to go before His throne in worship…the God who holds the universe in the palm of His hand. What an awesome privilege!
I could go on and on but I have learned that worship is not just about the things that God has done in my life but focusing on who God is. No matter what happens or does not happen in my life…God is still God…even when I change, when my feelings change, my circumstances change, the people in my life change, or won’t change…God is still the same magnificent God He has always been since before the beginning of time.
To answer the question at hand, one of my favorite ways to worship God is through nature. Seeing the sun rise or set, the moon lighting the night sky, or the vastness of the oceans are just some of the things that remind me of His awesome power and magnificence. On the days that I don’t feel very worshipful, I try to remind myself that He is still ever present, loving me and keeping me even thought I don’t feel it. Reading the book of Psalms also helps to keep me focused on who God is and not on the present condition of my heart or my life.
Bibi, Thank you for so eloquently writing down what was in my heart! The Lord must delight in you!
How can we help but worship Him?
