Very interesting post. I see the beginnings of this. We are beginning to 
learn to integrate three streams - the prophetic, the intercessory, and 
worship. Praise comes in there somewhere, probably to release all three. 
I wouldn't claim that we're really heading out down that road - but I 
think we know where the road is and taking the first steps in that 
direction.

We're hungry for more of God's presence, but not just as an experience. 
There is a cost, and it's about letting go of our agenda. Also about 
giving Him time.  Both are difficult. We want a structure that we feel 
comfortable and a predictable time frame that we feel comfortable with. 
But God wants us to have faith for how we meet with him and to give Him 
the time He wants.  This is not within the comfort zone!
