A second aspect of worship has to do with prayer. Prayer is worship. All the worship activity in the temple was summed up by Jesus when he called it a “House of prayer.” (Mt 21:13) When we pray, we demonstrate our faith in God and affirm His attributes. We could say, “Omnipotent God we praise you.” Certainly that is worship. When we pray we are saying that He needs no one, while we are wholly dependent on Him.
We need to be disciples who pray. If for no other reason, because Jesus prayed. One who follows Christ ought to pray as He prayed.
If we were to view Jesus’ prayer life through the eyes of a disciple, we would learn much about prayer.
