Last Sunday our prayer meeting in LYC is about Praise and Worship. Kuya Jojo taught us the very essence of Praise and Worship. Some of what he had discussed are the following:
Praise and Worship is a prayer.
Christian Prayer is a relationship.
Prayer have its own Objectives 
1. To deepen the faith
2. Prompt the heart for conversion
3. Strengthening our will to follow God
It consists of
1. Loving-"law" of relationship
2. Conscious-"life" of relationship
3. Personal-"dimension" of relationship
4. Permanent-"timespan" of relationship
It also have the following characteristics
1. Gift - In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. - 

Romans 8:26

2.Encounter - “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. -Luke 11:9

3. Covenant - But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says.’ Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people. - Ezekiel 3:27

4. Communion - “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. - John 15:5
Elements of a Prayer
1. Adoration - Creator/creature relationship
2. Contrition - Savior/sinner relationship
3. Thanksgiving - Father/child relationship
4. Holy Spirit Outpouring - Giver/receiver relationship
5. Offertory - King/servant relationship
6. Supplication - God/beggar relationship
Reminders for Prayer leaders
* Prayer should be objective not subjective
* Distinguish Worship and Monologue
Worship Leader should take note of the following
1. Songs
2. Intentions of leading the Worship
When we Pray we talk "with" God not "to" God. Its a relationship. Try building it now! God bless
