ON My Knees


When I'm on my knees
All my cares they cease.
My burdens get lighter...
Your power is released

When I'm on my knees
My strength is increased.
I am filled with your joy..
Your power is released.

When I'm on my knees
My soul is at peace.
My hope is renewed ...
Your power is released

When I'm on my knees
I kneel before your feet.
There I fully surrender...
Your power is released

When we pray, we are breaking through resistance from the powers of darkness and taking hold of God’s willingness to do His plan in the earth. That prayer causes His power to be released on our behalf.

Beautiful poem! [as always]. May we, as His children, remain prayerful at all times. When you think that the enemy would rejoice to see us bend our knees, that's the time they actually get scared...Have a great weekend. God bless.

Oh, Lorie, that is just precious! I love it! I like the picture--it so captures it all. How very important prayer is!

I'm not sure if my comment went through, Lorie. I just wanted to say how precious this poem is. It touches at the core of what prayer is and what it does for us.

Surrender- I too needed this- Onewould think you are talking to God on my behalf- or maybe He is speaking to your heart to be the His Voice in my life right now-
How I have missed your words- pray I am able to get back to this ministry Sister of Encouragment.
