I Just Didn't Feel It
Yesterday (Sunday) was very odd for me in church. I just didn't feel anything! As a worship leader I should be the first person to be in the spirit of worship but I just wasn't. Why? I have no idea and believe me, the possible reasons kept running through my mind all through the singing, prayers, and sermon. I addressed this with Jessica on the way home from church and she thought the service was great! Was the problem with me? Was the problem with the congregation? I decided to post this personal problem because others I know have done this before. Who cares if I felt something! Worship isn't about what I feel (at least true worship) Any comments?

I have to be honest... wait no I don't.
Tons of things effect us when it comes down to it. I questioned myself last night with the youth and Beck said I did a good job. I thought I failed. I still think I failed.
Worship is about the condition of your heart and how it relates to God.
is it really about the condition of your heart, or conversely, the unconditional love of God. I personally think there is a big difference, because if it was up to my heart, than I certainly would not be able to worship in spirit and truth a LOT of the time.

Very true guys, thanks
I understand exactly where you are coming from. Sometimes I think it is a silence on God's part. I do believe that he withdraws from us on occasion to help us to grow.
As a worship minister I have been exactly where you are at and I really don't have an answer other than to say that feeling won't last.
Sometimes for me it is just because I haven't been in the right place myself for whatever reasons. A lot of pressure was on me for everything to be perfect and I had to learn to worship through it. As Hebrews 13:15 says "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name." Keep on praising him!
