NEEDING THE KNEE
Pray without ceasing.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
A strange phenomenon swept over Washington's Union Station on the morning of June 6, 1944. No announcements came across the speakers. No one made a loud pronouncement. But suddenly the hustle and bustle of thousands of people crisscrossing the vast terminal came to a quiet moment of silence and stillness. One person after another dropped to a knee, folded their hands, and prayed. A few minutes later the phenomenon passed, people returned to their feet and scurried toward their trains or taxis. What had happened? It was D-Day, and news of the invasion flashed from person to person. Everyone felt the need for prayer.
A popular football player has recently re-popularized the habit of dropping to one's knee in prayer. Many of the biblical characters knelt when they prayed --not always, but sometimes. And kneeling is a godly habit that represents our reverence to the Lord.
But whether we're kneeling literally or figuratively, our hearts should always be in an attitude of prayer. We can pray at all times, even amid the hustle and bustle of life. Even now.
Prayer isn't limited to a slot in our schedule. It's living in the Lord's presence and being open to Him. -Cherri Fuller
Read: 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, open our hearts and minds to your word. May we begin and end our prayers with praise to you. Let us have willing hearts to daily spend time on our knees in reverence to you in prayer. Help us to remember without ceasing, your work of faith, your labor of love and patience of hope. We thank you for being ever present with us in the gift of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
