On our kitchen counter we have a small rock with the words carved into it that read: “If life makes it too hard to stand, then get on your knees.” It’s a true statement that is also wisdom because the prayers of the righteous avail much. But we also like to remind ourselves that even when things aren’t hard, or in fact, when things are going fantastic, it’s never a bad thing to reach out in prayer to our Father. It’s just a matter of respect to be in awe of His power, His love, His penchant for doing the impossible and His compassion for our situations in life. Whether we are begging Him or thanking Him it’s always wisdom to reverently fear Him, especially from a kneeling position.
