Worshiping with Music
Finding ways to worship with music is one of my favorite forms of creative praying.
If we spend more than half of each church service worshipping God through music, why shouldn’t we worship him in the same manner in the privacy of our home or car?
David used music all his wife as a form of worship
So, what do the scriptures say about worshiping God with music? {There are over 100 scriptures about using music in worship. This is just a small selection.}

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life
- Sing praises to God

- Sing along with praise songs
Even if you have a busy schedule, you can sing while doing simple tasks such as housekeeping and cooking. Often, when my schedule is packed, I will worship while performing these tasks.
