Episode 2751 - Lesson 6 - Monday May 04 - The Posture of Prayer

About this episode

This episode discusses the significance of the physical posture of prayer and its spiritual implications.

The Posture of Prayer When something goes wrong in our lives, most of us call a close friend to talk about it. When we have good news, we find someone to share it with. We can do the same with God. “Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend.” --Ellen G. White, Steps to Christ , p. 93 . Prayer not only keeps us connected to God but tells the devil whose we are. When we kneel to pray in the morning, it’s like a physical declaration to the powers of darkness that we choose God this day. Not only that, but God sends angels to our side when we pray, and we are fortified and covered from the enemy of darkness ( Psalm 91 ). The physical act of kneeling in submission shows a humble posture. It’s somehow different from sitting in a chair or lying in a bed while we pray, although we can pray in these positions, too. However, when we kneel before God we show that we are ready to serve God with all our hearts, as our body and our words declare that He is sovereign and that we are merely His created children. Read the following Bible passages and consider the lives of these individuals who knelt when they prayed: Dan. 6:10 , Luke 22:41 , Acts 7:60 , Acts 9:40 , Acts 20:36…
