Prayer, praise, and worship are essential practices that position our hearts for transformation. While we often think prayer is about changing our circumstances, its true power lies in changing us from within. God is always speaking, but many struggle to hear His voice because they've closed their ears to His guidance. These spiritual disciplines help us show mercy, open our spiritual ears, and soften our hearts. Rather than passive activities, prayer and worship require intentional effort—they're both work and warfare that lead to lasting heart transformation.
