Worship Wednesday: What Does Worship Look Like in Your Everyday Life?

When you hear the word worship, what comes to mind?

For many of us, it’s singing in church on Sunday morning, hands raised, music playing, hearts full. And that absolutely is worship. But today, I want to ask something a little different:

What does worship look like for you throughout your regular, ordinary day?

Not the polished moments. Not the “I have it all together” moments. Just the real ones.

The Bible reminds us, “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth” (John 4:24). That means worship isn’t about perfection—it’s about honesty. It’s about showing up as you are.

For some, worship happens in the quiet. It’s early morning coffee with the Bible open, a soft prayer whispered before the house wakes up, or journaling thoughts that feel too heavy to carry alone. It’s choosing stillness when everything in you wants to rush. “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).

For others, worship looks loud and joyful—worship music playing in the car, singing out of tune, praising God between errands, or dancing around the kitchen while dinner cooks. Scripture tells us, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord” (Psalm 150:6). Not perfectly—just fully.

And sometimes, worship doesn’t look like music or prayer at all.

Sometimes worship looks like obedience.
Sometimes it looks like forgiveness.
Sometimes it looks like choosing kindness when you’re tired.
Sometimes it looks like trusting God when you don’t understand.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). Even that trust—that surrender—is worship.

Worship isn’t limited to a building or a schedule. It’s a posture of the heart. “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). That includes laundry, deadlines, carpool lines, dishes, unanswered prayers, and the long, ordinary moments in between.

Maybe today, worship looks like:
• Saying thank You instead of complaining
• Taking a deep breath and inviting God into your stress
• Letting go of control
• Showing grace to yourself
• Helping someone without needing recognition
• Resting when you feel guilty for slowing down

Jesus invites us, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Even rest can be an act of worship.

Worship doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful.

It can be as simple as whispering, “God, I need You.”

“The Lord is near to all who call on him” (Psalm 145:18). And honestly? Those might be the most powerful worship moments of all.

So, this Worship Wednesday, I want to hear from you.

How do you worship throughout your day?

Is it through music?
Prayer?
Journaling?
Nature walks?
Scripture reading?
Serving others?
Quiet moments with God?

There’s no right or wrong answer—only real ones. “This is the confidence we have in approaching God”

(1 John 5:14). He wants your heart, not a performance.

My prayer is that today, you’ll notice the small moments where God is already with you. That you’ll realize worship isn’t something you have to do—it’s something you get to live.

And maybe, just maybe, you’ll give yourself permission to worship God right where you are, exactly as you are.

I’d love to know—drop a comment and tell me:
