In my own interpretation, when singing PRAISE is more like "YOU(God) to me", whereby, WORSHIP is "me to YOU(God)".
We sing praise before worship but my question is: In which are you more "comfortable" with? Like can you "see" & "feel" His presence more when you sing songs of Praise or is it Worship?

Good question. By definition praise is admiration of the characteristics and works of God. So a song that does that would be considered a praise song. But we can praise Him without music. I don't have to sing to proclaim and admire the works and character of God. Singing is a good way to do it though. Worship is not just singing. Although singing is part of worship, worship is a lifestyle. We worship God by every aspect of our lives as we declare Him worthy to be lived for, obeyed, loved and cherished. I feel closest to God when I am in His Word.

Praise be to GOD , like singing and dancing.Your suppose to Worship in Spirit and in Truth. This is more of a Life style worship. Your actions, and deeds, how you deal with life and others. This is true worship. It's not just on one day of the week, your life is to be a living sacrifice, and this is worship in the highest form. Because anyone can Praise God with their words, its real worship outside the church building that God is looking for. They both are different, yet both are desired by God.

It doesn't matter what you call it, it should always be directed toward God. He is the center of both our praise and our worship. We are not the center of His.

they're both the same. The lord just wants to hear it in different ways. It's kinda like flavors. YOu want something different every now and then. Hope this was helpful. Plus singing works out the lungs. Maybe he wants us to excercise. lol

For me praise is when you thank God for what He has done and lift him up.
While worship is when we humble ourselves before God.
God Doesnt NEED either one however, and it is my opinion that they are both for our benifit.
