KALEO WORSHIP GUIDE

Worship Guide

READ.  PRAY.  SING.

While gathering on Sundays to worship is something that we are called to do (Hebrews 10:24-25), the scriptures also show us the importance of intentionally worshiping God in our homes during the week (Deuteronomy 6:7). Kaleo's bi-weekly Worship Guide provides structure to help families, singles, and couples, in the daily worship of God within the home. The guide simply encourages Christ-followers to READ, PRAY, and SING.

You don’t need to follow the guide point by point, but rather utilize the resource to craft a daily worship experience appropriate for your home. Keep it simple, keep it short (especially with younger kids), and keep it consistent (and don’t forget to be patient and flexible too).

PRAY

A Pattern for Prayer

The Lord’s Prayer was not intended to be a rigid prayer to be said word-for-word.  It was meant to be used as a template to help us learn how to pray.  Walk through the Lord’s Prayer below for a helpful tool in learning how to pray. You could cover one section per day (or one phrase per week with younger children).

Matthew 6:7-13

Our Father in Heaven

  • Start in the posture of a child. (I love to give my children good gifts … so does our Father in Heaven!)

  • Remember His love for you expressed in Jesus as you approach him. (You can do it boldly!)

  • You stand in the same place as Jesus.

  • Rehearse the truths of the Gospel and invite the Spirit to remind you all of that is true of Jesus and now you in Him.

Hallowed Be Your Name

  • Move toward praise and thanksgiving.

  • Praise Him for who He is and thank Him for what He has done.

  • Use the Psalms to help you with this if necessary.

Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done

  • Commit yourself to His will.

  • Pray kingdom prayers … that what is true in heaven will be true here.

  • Pray for his rule and reign over your life and what you are able to influence.

  • Ask Him to reveal any place in which you are not seeking his kingdom first.

Give Us … Our Daily Bread

  • Ask him to meet your basic needs.

  • Bring your petitions before him.

  • Bring the needs of others before him.

Forgive Us Our Debts …

  • Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal unbelief or rebellion.

  • Acknowledge it as sin and ask him to forgive you.

  • Extend forgiveness to others.

Lead Us Not into Temptation

  • Ask the Spirit to reveal areas of weakness or vulnerability to the evil one.

  • Ask for power to overcome sin and deliverance from the evil one.
