I heard a song this morning (Touch the Sky by Hillsong United) and these words grabbed my attention...

Upward falling
Spirit soaring
I touch the sky when
my knees hit the ground.
This is what prayer does for me. When I'm bogged down by life, by the evening news of horrendous things mankind is doing to each other. When I hear a friend is hurting or moving away. When the doctor says something I didn't want to hear. When someone I love is heading down a path that can only lead to destruction.
When I feel my spirit tanking, my knees hit the ground and after a while, I'm falling...UPWARD.
My spirit soars above the quagmire into the realm of faith and the assurance that God is there. God makes a difference. Praying for others changes things. Not instantly, but definitely. I am lifted up, when I am on my knees.
The situation may not have changed, but God has changed something in me so that when I rise, I am no longer bogged down. I am walking on clouds of faith and trust in God, who is good, who is for me and who is with me in all circumstances.

Stand strong, my friend. God is still on the throne and he honors the prayers of his children. :)
