June 1, 2012 - Lift With Your Knees - Divinity's Blueprint
by R. Pettiford
When the weight of the world gets heavy, Lift with your knees
Finances
to a flat tire, no matter what your source of stress is the solution is
the same. You may feel like the weight of the earth is centered right
on that patch of spine between your shoulder blades. That's a heavy
burden for any one person to carry no matter how strong they are or they
may seem. But on thing is for certain , if you're trying to lift or
carry an extra heavy thing, whatever it may be, you should lift with
your knees, Literally. When the burdens of this world get to be too much
you should get down on your knees and lift your burdens to the heavens
and allow GOD to carry it for you.
Prayer
is the answer to so many of the world's problems, it is the clear
communication line with GOD. A direct line to his “phone”. In every
religion prayer is present in some shape or form. It is what keeps we
humans in contact with our creator. And in every religion the traditions
and customs may be a little different than the last but they all serve
the same purpose. Prayer plays a major role in the lives of people all
over the world and has done so throughout human history. In my opinion
it is one of the primary reasons that we remain civilized it holds us
together, connects us, empowers us to reach for and achieve new heights.
In The Holy Bible
even Jesus prayed. All the time, he prayed during his 40 day and night
fast, he prayed over meals, he prayed as he was dying on the Old Rugged
Cross. So if the creator of everything prays, then it must be pretty
important. No words can truly describe the power of prayer. Not even the
countless stories of miracles brought about through sincere and often
intense prayer. Intense prayers such as intercessory prayer is one of
the best ways to get directly to the front of the call line of
1-800-Jesus. We could all use pointers and help in the area of Prayer.
One
thing that I believe is misunderstood about prayer or just seemingly
inconceivable to the human brain, but prayer transcends religion. There
are no boundaries in prayer just as there are no boundaries with The
Living God. Many people seem to have their own set of artificial rules
when praying, things you shouldn't say or do because you're praying. But
my take on the subject is different to say the least. I mean think
about it, you're in the presence of God Almighty, he knows who you are,
what you're thinking, what you've been doing, and what you're about to
do, so why should I have to attempt to be something that I'm not? He
knows me by name, he knew me before my parents did. And My Heavenly
Father tells me to come as I am and give all of my burdens and worries
to him, so that's what I do.
Prayer
changes things, Truly. And it is understood my THE ALMIGHTY GOD in any
language imaginable. It's amazing, simply and truly amazing. Prayer has
the God Given power to save lives. Marriages, relationships,
friendships, families, and anything your heart may desire according to
God's will. The family that prays together stays together is an old
adage used to describe the bonds that family prayer places in homes and
marriages.
I
guess what I'm trying to say is that Prayer can lift that burden that
you have, that weight on your back. Drop to your knees and take it to
the Lord in Prayer. Just as Jesus and his Holy Word instructs us to. You
don't have to carry your burdens, just let him do it for you. He is
more than willing, he is able, and he is longing to carry them for you.
All you need to do is ask him. So instead of walking around weighed down
with the burdens of the world on your back, use your knees to lift it
all up to God. Our Heavenly Father wants you to give it to him. He wants
to do more than just help you carry that load, he wants to do it for
you. And all he wants in return is for you to trust, love, and obey him.
