Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. (Jeremiah 29:12)
Did you know there is a failproof and a foolproof method for curing knocking knees? It’s kneeling on them and lifting your voice up to heaven. Regardless of what is causing your knees to knock, whether it is personal, professional, or relational, getting on them in prayerful communion with God is the way to receive that peace that passes all human understanding.
Jesus opened the way for us to come into God’s presence 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Now, it’s not like we are coming to God with something He does not already know. God knows your name, the number of hairs on your head, and everything about every circumstance in your life. In fact, it is God who has ordained all things in your life for His glory and your ultimate good. He obviously knows the answer to every question and the solution to every problem before we bring any of it to Him. But God delights in us when we come into His presence to share with Him what is going on in our lives.
Now the Bible commands us to pray and prayer is to be the bedrock of the believer’s life. But beyond the command, is God’s cosmic care for us. Like any Father, God loves when we come to Him for any reason at any time. And not just when things are hard. God loves to hear from us when things are going well. God simply wants to be in constant communion with us throughout our day.
So, regardless of what is causing your knees to knock, bring it to God. Come into His presence and sit awhile and tell Him what is on your heart. He not only cares for you, He is working everything in your life for your ultimate good. The more you pray, the more you practice the presence of God and that is the best practice in the world to keep your knees from knocking.
This is the Gospel. This is grace for your race. NEVER FORGET THAT . . . AMEN!
