One life lesson I have learned with the help and encouragement of my lovely wife, is that when life throws you around and you feel as though you are going to come crashing down on your head, don't try to land on your feet - land on your knees !
From your knees you look up at the world, you learn the right attitude. From your knees you are equal to your fellow man. On your knees you are vulnerable. On your knees you are closer to the earth - away from worldly comforts. And lastly, on your knees you learn to get to the point before your knees start killing you !
God listens when we are on our knees - not because He wants us to suffer or be uncomfortable, but because when we are on our knees He knows our focus is on Him and we are serious. On our knees we show God that we do not think we are better than our brothers or sisters on earth and that we are not ashamed to show others that we are praying to God. On our knees we are also an encouragement for our fellow Christians as God wants us to be.
So land on your knees and God will help you to your feet.
