On Bended Knee

Jul. 14, 2014

 

That is a position that I have not really been in, well in more weeks than I can tell you. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to pray or talk with God it was just that I found it easier to get through the day without having prayers unanswered without feeling the way I was always left feeling at the end of the day. So I stopped altogether, sort of. There were always times when I would catch myself talking to God anyway. However the urge to pray again has really been strong and I don’t really fight it as I try to refocus my attention.

It is not that I have turned my back on God I just wanted to let him do whatever he does without any input from me in any way. So now I am at that point when I am going to go down on my knees and just let the chips fall where they may. I mean after all I know that I need God’s help but I just don’t know what I am going to say. I know I need to apologize for being the petulant child that I am. There is so much more to say and I hope that the words will come when I get down onto my knees. I am  sure that they will, I just need to get down and do it.

    I can relate to what you are saying. Thankfully we follow a God that will always hear our prayers.

      It does make you feel forgotten even though we know that we aren’t. Sometimes I think we need to take a break, pull back, and let God do his work. Our own hopes and fears can get in the way and cloud the issue.
