When and how do you pray? In the car? On the bed? Before a meal?
Do you ever take a concentrated time and pray on your knees?
I am going to do that.
Imagine if one of my children wants to ask me for a huge favor, something very serious and urgent. Does she just run by casually and leave quickly? No, she would stop everything she is doing and begs until I say yes. She would demand my full attention, and do whatever it takes to make sure I listen and respond.
I think we take God’s love and mercy for granted.
IÂ pray and expect him to answer, when I haven’t even shown seriousness in my prayers.
A while back, I started praying on my knees. It really readjusted my attitude about the seriousness of prayer. But I wanted to be comfortable, and didn’t make it a priority. Is God happy with that? Thank God that he is all loving, patient and full of mercy. I need to treat him with respect and honor, not take his kindness for granted.
I am encouraged today to go to God on my knees, literally.
