Do We kneel before the Lord?
When life challenges us, do we kneel before our Lord and ask for help with an honest and trusting heart, or do we attempt to bargain with Him? Are we willing to expose, to Him, our imperfections and admit that we need Him? Truthfully, we are unworthy of His love, His healing, and His intervention; and yet, He gives us so much more than we deserve.
