Do You Get On Your Knees To Pray?

I heard last night that sex is a lot like praying, it doesn't matter how you do it as long as you make contact....



This got me thinking, if I have a conscious contact with my Higher Power (God) then do I really need to be on my knees to pray or talk with him? When I had my last drink, I fell to my knees and begged God to please lift this obsession or let me drink myself to death, because the pain I was in and the pain I knew I caused my loved ones was far too much for me to handle.



I wise man once told me, each night put your shoes far underneath your bed. He said, and while you are down their on your knees, thank God for another day of sobriety. And when you get dressed in the morning and you go to pull those shoes out from underneath your bed, pray that God gives you another day sober. You'll be on your knees morning and night, reminding you to pray for your sobriety and be thankful for the gift of sobriety.



While my sponsor suggests I do the same (get on my knees to pray), I feel there are times throughout my day that I just need to shout out to God and say help. I could be in a grocery store, in the shower, or at the park with the kids. In my humble opinion, I think God is listening no matter where or when you need to talk to Him. However, I needed to fall to my knees to get sober, and Praise the Lord He was listening that day.



Today, I will do as my sponsor and those who had gift of sobriety before me did and get on my knees to pray, and thank God for another day of sobriety.

How do you pray just to make it today?
