As you stand, praying

Mark 11 [NIV Dramatized Audio]

Kneeling to pray is a given posture of humility used by many. But to say that all prayer must be on our knees is errant. If we “pray without ceasing,” we could never get up on our feet to live life. Prayer is more about Who you’re talking to rather than the position of your body.

Early on in my quest to please God with morning prayer, I would quickly nod off to sleep if I knelt down. I began walking and talking … to God in prayer. Then I began singing out loud to Him. That roused me. I would sing through 5 Psalms. THAT worked! I was staying awake and cultivating the prayer language of David.

The MAIN THING is you talking to God. He’s awake. You’re the one who needs to wake up!

Behold, bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord, which by night STAND in the house of the Lord. Ps. 134:1
