Posture, location and prayer

While there’s no perfectly “holy” posture and location for prayer, I think it’s obvious that both effect the experience of prayer. A prayer said out loud with your family while driving down the road is going to be much different than one said while laying facedown by yourself in a private space.

How has your physical posture and location affected your spiritual posture towards prayer, if at all?

Today’s Devotional: Looking forward to being healed

Chris — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 17:45:02 +0000

When we are sick, we feel as if the world is out of order. It doesn’t take much to put us in that state either, a simple cold can make our emotional and spiritual lives feel off-kilter. Not to mention the havoc it plays on our physical bodies. Our Daily Bread reflects today on how physical healing is a portent of what to expect in God’s kingdom:

Within our orderly world, disease is a sign that something is out of order. Healing is a sign that God will some day restore all things to their original condition (Acts 3:21). When John the Baptist wanted to know whether Jesus was the Coming One, Jesus said, Go and tell John . . . the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them (Luke 7:20-22). Healing was evidence that Jesus was Israels Messiah (Mal. 4:2).

We look forward to a time when our bodies are restored by God, but until that time, what are ways you thank God for the health you have?
