My husband is an extremely wise man. He says things that often make me stop and think. I love engaging in conversation with him because I know that he’s going to challenge me.
One day, while I was sharing some of my worship frustrations with him, he made a simple, yet profound statement.
“Worship leaders, stop leading me into worship. Create an atmosphere I can worship in.”
Wow. I don’t think I could say it any better.
I’m tired of being pulled into worship before I’m ready, of being forced into “feeling” worshipful. I want to get there on my own. Being “led” into worship doesn’t always feel genuine. Instead, if you create a safe atmosphere that I can relax and be myself in, I can’t help but worship.
I think if I could say one thing to worship leaders everywhere, it would be this statement. Create an atmosphere I can worship in.
If you could say one thing to worship leaders, what would it be?
