When we worship God, our eyes are opened to see clearly; our ears are opened to hear the words of God, and our minds are opened to knowledge from the Most High (Numbers 24:16). Luke 24 tells us that "their minds were opened to comprehend the Scriptures" -- in fellowship, in the breaking of the bread, in communion/ conversation with Christ.
Prayer aligns our spirits with the Spirit of God, harmonizing our desires with the desires of God. Then we can ask in confidence for what we want, knowing that we have been formed in God's own image and likeness. No wonder Jesus said we must be born again to worship in Spirit and in truth. Just as we once bore the image of our earthly father, so now let us bear the image of God.
