Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
for he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture,
the flock under his care.
Today, if only you would hear his voice
Psalm 95:6-7
Abraham Lincoln once remarked that there were days when he found himself on his knees before God, for there was no other place for him to go during the dark days of Civil War; I think there are times like that for all of us.
We don’t need to be enduring hard times to fall on our knees before Him, for there are times for us to jump for joy in His presence, and times to fall on our knees in thanksgiving before Him as well. Let’s face it, there are also times when we come before Him in reverent prayer just to keep our priorities straight and to acknowledge His great love for us. The most important thing, whether we are living in good times or bad, is for us to remember that we need to be near to God.
After all, God is my joy and my sustenance; my happiness and my comfort.
God is my life and my strength; my creator and my redeemer.

There have been days, especially recently, when it has been only my faith in him that has enabled me to carry on.
I think you have a lot of company in that, including me.
There have been days, especially recently, when a has only been my faith in Him that has enabled me to make it through.
I have learned that God really changes our lives when we make prayer a priority.
It is so much easier, almost instinctive, to reach out to God “when my life is falling apart” if I have spent time in prayer for no other reason than “it’s time for my morning devotions.”
And He is always there to meet us, in good times and bad.
Well said; thank you!
