Psalm 29:1-2 — Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

Of my four basic elements of organized prayer adoration is the one I find hardest — perhaps because of my English background. Not for me, the outpourings that Paul was blessed with:
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. Romans 11:33-36
But adoration isn’t optional. It is commanded. “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” Deuteronomy 6:4-5

Adoration is commanded. How is it to be managed? I cannot give a general answer. I can only say what I do.

When I have done what I can by way of confession and repentance, I turn my heart to adoration.

I take one of God’s attributes. I consider it. I try to understand how it affects me. I soon come to a point where I remember that it’s beyond my ability to grasp the fullness of it. That is enough to turn my heart to wonder.

Consider, for an example, the infinity of God. God fills all of space and all of time … In fact all of space and all of time exist, somehow within the infinity of God. How does that work? How far is infinity? How long is forever? How far have I ever been? How long will I live? God is all there is, and I am not even a speck in that everything — and yet, somehow, incomprehensible, God cares about me. How can I do anything but worship Him, full of grateful awe?

I’m an inadequate amateur when it comes to prayer — and especially adoration. Matthew Henry, though, wrote a book, “A Method for Prayer: Freedom in the Face of God”. On this matter of adoration he says:
Our spirits being composed into a very reverent and serious frame, our thoughts gathered in, and all that is within us charged in the name of the great God carefully to attend the solemn and awful service that lies before us and to keep close to it, we must, with a fixed attention and application of mind and an active lively faith, set the Lord before us, see his eye upon us, and set ourselves in his special presence, presenting ourselves to him as living sacrifices, which we desire may be holy and acceptable to God and a spiritual service;
That is the perfect preparation for adoration! 

Myra adores differently — but there is a similarity. She considers creation, “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;” Psalms 8:3. From there, as she loses herself in contemplation, adoration flows. 

Neither Myra nor I feels able to look directly into the blazing fire which is the heart of God and cast ourselves down before it. It is too much for us. We must come to it gradually. But we do adore Him!
