A heart prepared for worship is a matter of personal reflection and public testimony.

What does it mean for our hearts to be prepared for worship? Believe it or not, this has just as much to do with others as it does with ourselves. We must approach worship with inward purity, coming to God with a clean heart. But as one commentator puts it, God does not isolate our worship of Him from our relationship with our neighbor. In fact, having our hearts prepared for worship is a combination of personal reflection and public testimony.
