Today’s prayer focus: A Prayer to Thank God for the Gift of Music

Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”

Music is amazing. It is a way of expressing our emotions artistically. It joins us with others. It is unique, reveals a person’s style, and plays a huge role in culture as a whole. Can you think back to two or three specific moments when God used a song to encourage you in your faith? What about two or three worship songs that you cannot hear without remembering a sweet moment of worship to the Lord? Music is an absolute gift. Whether we ourselves are musically gifted or not, we can all appreciate and make joyful noises to our great God.

PRAYER FOR TODAY 6TH MARCH 2024.

Let’s pray:

Creator of All,
Thank you so much for making such beautiful sounds. Melodies and harmonies bless our ears. Thank You for the variety of instruments fashioned to praise Your name. We are able to express joy as well as sadness in song. We have been provided with such an amazing mode of worshiping Your glorious name. We were created to worship You in all things, and one of these ways is through music.

Thank You for the songs that have met us in our broken moments. For the ones that ministered Your Scriptures artistically to us and spoke to our souls. Thanks for reminding us that we were not alone, that You were worthy of it all, and that You were not done working in our circumstances. When we are tempted today to despair, we pray that You will “turn our mourning into joyful dancing. You will take away our clothes of mourning and clothe us with joy, that we might sing praises to you and not be silent. O LORD our God, we will give you thanks forever! (Psalm 30:11-12)

Thank You that You also call us to sing a new song unto You. As life continues, You call us into Your creativity. We are invited to cry out to You in new ways and to express our love for You with fresh songs with new words and melodies. We pray that You would empower us to live out the concept from Ephesians 5:19 to speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. That we would sing and make music from our hearts to the Lord. Enable us to use this gift to encourage and bless others. Help our music to have words founded on Scripture that can share the gospel message with those who do not know You. Help our music to bless those who are in the family of God. May our compositions and our praises to You motivate and invite other believers to adore You. You say in Hebrews 2:12, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises.’” As we gather with others, may our worship in song spur them on in their faith. Thank You for the ways that others singing You praise invites us in as well.

Lord, music is powerful. Help us to reflect on the power we experience during songs being a glimpse of Your glory. Thank You that one day we will be singing in heaven. You say in Revelation 14:2-3a, “And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. They sang as if it were a new song before the throne.” We praise You that we will be able to celebrate You in song in the future. Father, You are worthy to be eternally praised. Thank You for creating vocal cords to sing. Thank You for designing stunning instruments and making hands to play and minds to comprehend how to play. Thank You for sign language for those who cannot verbally express song but physically worship You through the words of a song.

We praise You today and invite You into the simplest songs in our hearts. We praise You with the pianos and guitars in our homes to the unique harp and flute we hear at a concert. We clap along with the drums and praise You for the rhythms You have made. All glory belongs to You. We love You and praise You for such a good gift in music. Amen.

This Is the Assurance of Answers to Your Prayers – Matthew 7:7-11

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will YOUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN GIVE GOOD THINGS TO THOSE WHO ASK HIM!
