Hebrews 12:28 ESV "Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe." No matter an individual failure, his/her faults will not change the heart of God.

Matthews 6:9-13, the model prayer has every supplement a person needs to exalt and honor God for grains required to endure this journey.
Cherry states, "Prayer is not only something we do in worship; it is what constitutes worship. The entire liturgy is a prayer to God." (126) Worship is exalting, and adoring God for who He is and have been in an individual's life. It is an honor to come to God and glorify His name because He deserves the worship. Worship in prayer causes a person to experience God on another level with the Holy
In order to develop a Christian point of view on marketing, the fundamental presuppositions of marketing must be coordinated with the underlying presuppositions of a Christian perspective. Christian business people that work hand and hand with Christian representatives by Biblical hard working attitudes and norms, create an equitable and reasonable work place.
Wayne Grudem establishes the theme by enacting a scenario where someone talking to a new acquaintance explains what type of business they work in. The abnormal response they received was, “what a great way to glorify God!” (Grudem, 2003). It is not very often that business is associated with bringing glory to the Lord. Generally one glorifies God in their church; singing, worshipping, evangelizing, or providing money for evangelistic efforts (Grudem, 2003).
Not as a firm guide, but as thought-provoking advice on how corporate worship can impact an ever-changing culture. I think any worship leader would be impacted by Dawn's questions: • Is God the subject of your corporate worship? • Does your worship build the Christian character of the individual and invite them into the community of Christianity? • Are you dumbing down your content to reach out? • How will you reach out in the midst of a market-driven, television age?
Worshiping a god through forms of prayer could be conducted directly, in private, or indirectly through a priest or in a public temple or Sanctuary .

An almost overwhelming emphasis is put on worship in the present church and the mode by which that worship is conveyed. Differences in the approach of worship have caused much debate and consideration, even to the point of hostility and division in some factions. An honest discussion of worship should lead to the question “Does God really care how I worship?” Worship is an important facet of our relationship with God, it is vital that we honor Him in the manner that He set forth and desires.
The Jews believe that you don't have to be in the synagogue to worship. To the Jews, "everything we do can be transformed into a Sinai experience" and the "search for holiness is not confined to a synagogue." These are the quotes that suggest that Jews believe in prayers being...
“Human beings are made for worship. Everyone worships someone or something” (Calhoun 2005). The above statement is so true. Some people worship money, themselves, other people or pagan Gods. As for me I worship God the Almighty Father of Heaven and Earth. “True worship of God happens when we put God first in our lives” (Calhoun 2005). Worship isn’t just singing at the beginning of a church service on Sunday. Worship is a daily surrender where we put God first in everything such as our marriage, work life, friendships, family, money, and lifestyle. Worship is where we totally surrender and trust God with everything in our lives.
Prayer is an intimate one on one conversation with the almighty, wonderful God that you are having a relationship with. It is a special time and you are going before God who is above all.
One of the biggest themes explored in the Civil Rights Movement is the Christianity. Despite its appearance of being majorly secular or having no apparent connection to the gospel, the movement is a major turning point in how the American Christian really perceives the Bible.

In the Jewish homes they have Jewish Siddur which contains all basic prayers. They have prayers for everything healing, the dead, wedding and etc. The Talmud of the Jewish faith defines prayer as an advocate haler of the heart. Prayer should express the deepest feeling and longing of the soul. Prayer also could be held with a group of people more than one in prayer.
First off all, Christianity prayer involves praising God music, speech, reading, and teaching of text from the well-known sacred book the Bible. They attend church services on Sundays and those services are divided into two general parts which are the Eucharistic, and the service of the world. The Eucharistic consist on the act of Holy Communion, and the service of the world consist on sermons in which the preacher biblical text and he demonstrates the importance of those biblical text in the present. In different from what has been mentioned, Jewish people worship in synagogues and their sacred text book is Tora. They usually Pray on Sabbath, or Saturday in English, and their practices in the synagogue are similar to Christianity.

Should we bow on our knees? Say certain words or phrases? Pray at certain times of the day? To answer these questions let us look at the ways Jesus prayed as well as how Gods Word says.
Prayer is important because it allows us to have an intimate conversation with the Lord, as well as a relationship. It helps build our relationship with Him and makes it only even more powerful each time. Also, by praying, we are allowing and putting all of our faith into God's hands and letting him take the wheel and be in control of our lives and guiding us into making smart choices and decisions.
Our affections cling to self and to worldly objectives; our prayers cannot rise above their level, no matter what words we use. In Luke 11:1 it says, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” We should be taught to pray either from the church or from the people around us. Taught in a sense of listening, not actually taking lessons from it. We need to pray because prayer is the most important part of the thankfulness that God requires of us.
