A Prayer To Worship With A Whole Heart
"I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart and I will glorify your name forever. For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul..." - Psalm 86:12-13

The Psalmist says that he gives thanks with his WHOLE heart! Compartmentalizing and thanking God in part is not an option for David. If we hold back a portion of our heart as we approach the Lord with thanksgiving, we are clearly communicating that we disagree with or do not appreciate something that has taken place in our lives.

So here is the question- If our WHOLE heart is required to be biblically, and truly grateful, then what is the condition of our hearts? Are we worshiping and thanking God with a heart that has been beat down, ripped apart, broken, poisoned, abused, or mishandled? God is the one who has the ability to restore the condition of our hearts. If we allow Him to, then we are able to truly love and thank Him with our "made WHOLE again" hearts. So as we grow in faith, in order to experience the fullness of gratitude, the challenge is to give God space to work in us...to restore what needs restoration, to heal what needs healing.

So THANK HIM! With your WHOLE, healed heart. He is worthy of praise and gratitude.

Prayer & Devotional Tips
Before you even begin your devotion, start with a prayer asking God to share His wisdom with you. The Bible says in James 4:8, “Come near to God and He will come near to you.” By reaching out to God at the beginning of your devotion, you'll be more likely to feel His presence.
Prayer Requests & Testimonies
Our prayer for you over the next thirty days is that your passion for God and His Word will be ignited, and that you will develop a hunger for His presence that is greater than ever before! We pray you make a spiritual investment and seek clarity in the areas of spiritual, personal, family and community. Don’t ever settle for anything less than a life full of passion and spiritual zeal for God. Keep the fire for God burning in your heart and do whatever it takes to feed your spiritual hunger for God.

Each day of prayer and fasting, we encourage you to keep a daily journal. Write any revelations that God gives you about yourself and about life in general. Share your prayer requests and your testimonies. Let's go into the War Room together!
