From the Parking Lot to The Presence: Part 1 – Enter Thankfully
Whether intentional or not, every church musician has a routine for warming up their instrument on Sunday mornings. Most routines begin with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Singers will at least casually sing in the car on the way to church while others go through a set of vocalises for a more formal [...]

I wonder what the world would look like if we allowed Jesus to guide our prayer time, as opposed to us monologize our lists to Him as in this video above?

“Thou desireth truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.” Psalm 51:6 (RSV) [with emphasis added]
