However, the language of one's body should always match the words of one's heart in prayer. How often do our words say one thing while our body quite another, distracted or just plainly non-committed to the message of our words, often in a hurry to move on to the day's next duty. The body must always be obedient to one's spirit in making its journey into His presence, equally yoked by His Spirit. Anything less is confusion and hinders our communication. Sometimes you must stand, while at others you may sit. Hands raised with face heavenward, or hands folded with head bowed in humility; a shout, or soft whisper; on bended knee, or prostrate in His presence—all to be dictated solely by His Holy Spirit!

- And So Pray:
