#1,114: Which Posture of Prayer is Correct?
Manage episode 448749204 series 2800784
Which physical posture of prayer is the right one for you? I would say, none of them! Rather than the external posture, the Bible emphasizes the posture of the heart. Whether you are standing, sitting, or lying down, the important thing is that your heart is bowed in submission to the lordship of Christ.
Main Points:
1. True prayer is characterized by the posture of the heart, not the physical posture of the person praying.
2. So, what is the right posture of our hearts as we come to God in prayer. I believe it must include three things: reverence, humility, and gratitude.
3. As you pray today, it may be that you’ll sense God leading you to a particular posture of prayer. Maybe you’ll kneel, stand, or even lift your hands. Whichever posture of prayer you choose, don’t forget about the posture of your heart.
Today’s Scripture Verses:
Ephesians 3:14 - “For this reason, I kneel before the Father.”
Psalm 95:6 - “Come, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.”
Hebrews 12:28 - “Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe.”
John 14:13 - “Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 - “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.”
