Worship does all sorts of wonderful things for your heart and soul, and for your union with Christ. Worship catches our mental life and turns it toward Jesus. It builds resilience because we are staying focused on God for twenty or thirty minutes. It opens our spirit to him, allowing us to receive his love, comfort, and the strength that prevails. Worship is also a declaration of faith—declaring the goodness of God, who he is, what he’s done.
