Some days are meant for nothing more than praising God with heartfelt worship. If you need direction in doing this, open up Psalms 86. David poured out his heart to God, and it is believed that this psalm may have been a prayer or song he recited frequently. I can understand why, because it is beautiful and honors God as He should be honored. It is in the psalm that David asks God to bow down His ear to hear his prayer, which gives us a vivid image of our majestic God, the Imperial being, Creator of all heaven and earth, moving closer to us to hear our humble prayer. Can you imagine that? There are no other gods we can put before Him that even care about our prayers; they are fake and destined for hell, but not our God; he is the only everlasting God who can hear us every time we open up to Him. He is the only one who is interested in everything we have to say. Make it a point to submit every decision to Him, whether big or small, and commit your day to Him every day. Remember, He hears every word you say; make sure those words glorify Him. 

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. Psalms 86:5-8
