People often ask me “Why is it so difficult to enter into worship?” As a worship leader, how often have I looked into the faces of the congregation, staring back at me like animals trapped in my headlights and I hear myself saying, “Let’s get excited about God today.” I want people to realize that there is a battle around worship – reasons why it is hard to praise, give thanks or even to focus upon God.

At the moment I can’t say more, but I feel an urgent need for prayers to cover me and this trip for such a time as this.
