When life is too much to stand...Kneel.


One of the greatest blessing we have received from our Heavenly Father is the power of prayer. It is through this that we are able to speak with our Lord. Even though He knows all and knows each and every one of us inside and out, He still is willing to listen to our hopes, our fears, our dreams and our askance. Through prayer we are able to truly repent our sins to Him and be redeemed. Through prayer we are able to ask for healing on behalf of someone who needs it. Through prayer we are able to gain our foundational testimonies of our Rock.

We know that through our testimonies that He is there and we are never alone. We know that His blessings are just that...true blessings even if we cant see His logic. We know what is true from what is false and we know that by sharing our testimonies with others that His Word will be spread.

Prayer offers us such comfort in troubling times. He is the only one to go to when no one else will listen. In our faith we have a saying, "When life is too much to stand...Kneel." What a powerful phrase!! The strongest you will ever be is when you are on your knees professing your self to Him. He wants you to pray, to let Him know that you really can't do it without Him. He loves you more than anything else, and by showing Him that we need His presence in our lives, it is showing Him that we love Him as well.

Bearing our testimony whether it is in our meetings or at a neighbors house, is just another way to be able to stand strong in His power. By sharing what we know to be true of Him, we are truly thanking the Lord for what He has given us. How selfish we would be if opportunities arose to share His word and we kept Him to ourselves.

We are ever thankful Lord for thy presence and thy blessings. Thou are a great God and I am thy humble servant. I thank thee O Lord for thy hand on my shoulder and for thy Spirit that guides me down the path of righteousness. I ask thee O Lord to please continue to show me how to serve thee best, and to please bless my efforts. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
