do you worship him??
if yes how do you do it??
do you get on your hands and knees and bow before Him??
just curious because I only see people following my faith do that and not the rest...I may be wrong

Answer 1

I worship Him primarily in my heart. As far as physical posture is concerned, sometimes it can be sitting, sometimes standing, sometimes with my hands raised in the air, sometimes with my eyes down, and closed, sometimes with my eyes looking upward, and open, sometimes on my knees, sometimes down on my face. I do as my heart tells me at the time. The worship I offer to God, I try to offer it out of the genuineness of my heart, and not out of any religious duty.

Answer 2

As a Christian, yes, I worship God. How I do it is an interesting question. I find worship to take many forms. There is the issue of direct worship, which should never be underestimated. Reading Scripture, praying, going to church, singing, these are all wonderful ways of direct worship to God. There are also indirect forms of worship, which encompass everything else I do. Whether I'm answering a Yahoo question, or hanging out with friends, or picking my nose, I should do all things to the glory of God. What does that mean though? Does that mean every time I hang out with friends I can only talk about theology? Well, that might be okay, but that's not what it means. Colossians 3:17 says "Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father." All of our life should relfect godly living. This means the way we speak, they way we act, all things are worship. Every human on this planet worships something. As a Christian, I intend with both public and private, direct and indirect methods, that I will worship God with my whole life.

Answer 3

Your walk is your worship, that is how to treat people and what you do when you are alone. Your prayer time and how much of it you set aside for God. But when you want to send up praises in worship, well, when I do it I put on some beautiful gospel worship music and either sing or dance as if before The Lord. I'll tell Him how wonderful, Holy, righteous, perfect, pure etc He is then I'll call out His many names and I'm reminded of His Character through His names like Jehovah Nissie - My Victory, My Banner over the enemy. I will thank Him for all He's done and praise Him with the highest praise which is HALLELUJAH!! But it depends on your personal relationship with Him. Think of what you would like to do to show God just how much you are grateful and love Him.

Answer 4

Yes I believe in God.
Yes I worship Him.
I worship Him in my mind, I worship Him through songs sometimes, I worship Him through prayer and thanksgiving, I worship Him by going to church sometimes and listening to His word.
I don't get on my hands and knees. I dont fold my hands when I pray. I usually close my eyes when I pray, but I think that is habitual.
We ought to bow down before the King, as many do to their earthly kings. However, the biggest gesture of worship is in the heart, only visible to God.

Answer 5

Everything you do is an act of worship, whether it is to God or a false idol. You worship God by reflecting his love back to him. This may sometimes appear as folded hands and bended knees, but don't mistake the appearance of worship for worship itself.

Answer 6

Yes I worship by being mindful of him. I worship by taking time to examine my religion. I worship by giving respect, being in awe and giving thanks.

Not on my knees typically although I cant say not ever. I'm not moved that I should. My respect does not come from my posture. I know some feel that is necessary, it is an outward sign of respect. That is a good thing too, just not the main thing.

Answer 7

In the Bible the first mention of worship was the story of Abraham taking Isaac to mount Moriah and when they came in sight of the mountain Abraham turned to his servants and said, "you remain here and I and the lad will go yonder and we will worship and come again to you". From that point on throughout the Bible worship was always associated with the concept of sacrifice. In Romans 12:1 it tells us to "present our bodies as a living sacrifices holy an acceptable unto God which is our spiritual service of worship". So worship is really want am I willing to sacrifice for my God to demonstrate what he is worth to me. That is Biblical worship. Today in the contemporary church the term worship is used to describe a group of people getting together at church and singing or praying or whatever. That concept is really foreign to the Bible and music is never equated in the Bible with worship whatsoever. Many Christians today who claim to be worshiping God are really sacrificing very little.

Answer 8

Yes I worship him, and sometimes kneel before him. I know I should more. I pray every day and go to Church often. Why do you question our faith? Especially the Atheists on this site, I hope you don't get bombarded by them! They are a very ignorant bunch. God bless you sweetheart!

Answer 9

I worship Him everywhere. I worship Him at church, when I'm taking a walk, when I'm studying the Bible in my living room, when I'm driving my car, cooking dinner, vacuuming the carpet and even in the shower.

Sometimes I'm sitting, sometimes I'm walking, sometimes I'm laying in bed, relaxing in the bathtub, sometimes I'm on my knees, sometimes I lay face down on the floor, sometimes I'm mowing my lawn, planting my herbs, walking to the mailbox.

Do you understand?

It doesn't matter where you are, how you position your body, or what you are doing. Make worship a living experience, all the time, not just special times when you slot Him into your busy schedule.

It is so awesome how our Father blesses you, draws nearer to you, speaks to you when you make Him a part of every minute of your life.

Answer 10

One way that I worship God is by going to Mass. But I can also do it privately, and it takes many forms. One can sing hymns, pray, kneel in meditation, practice spiritual devotions, or help the less fortunate by practicing charity. Even taking a walk in the woods can be a way of worshiping God and enjoying His creations.
