I was reading an old book called Prayers for Busy People, written by Rita Snowden, in 1978. She mentions in the opening pages, a quote from Dr Harry Fosdick, who speaks about Intercessory prayer as 'love on its knees.'
Don't you love that? Love on its knees.
When we pray for other people, we are offering a form of love on our knees. The posture is humility, and we are showing our concern and love for people who desperately need our prayers.
The next time you start to intercede for someone, think about this beautiful gift. You are offering other people your love (and God's love), while on your knees.
Living in Grace
