Kneel

"When life gets too hard to stand, kneel." Gordon B Hinkley

 We all have situations in life where we feel as though we keep getting knocked down again and again. The enemy keeps pushing us over, and no matter how many times you stand up, you just get knocked down once again. If this is you today, I truly pray for you, I pray that you know something. I pray that, no matter how many times you have been knocked down by the enemy in the past, from today on, that instead of falling, you will start kneeling.
 Now what will kneeling do to help me? Maybe you are asking yourself this question, and the answer, well, the answer is that kneeling will make you stronger. When we are standing and the enemy continues to keep knocking us down, it is easy to get worn out and tired. But when we kneel, we are welcoming God's presence. We are telling God that even though we don't have a lot of strength left, that even though we are in the midst of a hard situation right now,  we are still finding the strength to kneel, and when we do, the enemy will come to knock us down, but freeze in his tracks and back away.
 Maybr you are wobdering why kneeling would make any difference to the enemy. Well,  he will leave because he is going to know that you are getting your strength from God, and oonce you rise again, you will be solid and no enemy, no obstacle, no situation will be able to knock you down, all because God filled you with His strength, He didn't fill you back up with your strength, or any other typical person's strength, but His, He filled you up with it when you had none. Even though you were in the midst of a struggle, even though you were tired and worn, you kneeled, and because of that, you are stronger.
