During recent travels I came upon this sign in a diner.  I was immediately struck by its truth.  There are times when we feel so weak that we stumble, we find it hard to maintain our balance.  We may feel lost, we may even move toward despair.  But if we kneel – turn to God in prayer- we will find hope.  Prayer is intimate connection with the Holy, the ever-present power of love.  Kneeling can mean bowing down, recognizing that the controlling power resides not in us but in God.  In That humbling of ourselves we come to see the loving, guiding hand that keeps us going.  The hand that pulls us to our feet and gives us new life, new strength, new hope.  Praise God!
