Yes. If you are referring to...PSALMS 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Yes. Contrite is as to be broke, or disappointed. I believe Job was of such in his trials. Jesus is attentive and aware of the way we feel and the is no shame in it, HEBREWS 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. When we feel a purpose was defeated God's purpose is not. ROMANS 8: 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose. So as Job trusted Him so do we. JOB 13:15 Sincerely Richard Wright 1958
lt depends upon the tradition of the church. Nothing in scripture says that it is 'wrong' to kneel for prayer, stand for prayer or sit for prayer. What is important is that you come to prayer in the right frame of mind. When I was brought up, in the church I attended the tradition was that we knelt for prayer. In my own church we sit for prayer, as most find this posture more comfortable so that one can concentrate on the prayer and not on ones creaky joints! When we spent some time in Norway in 2006, we wennt to a church where they sat for the hymns and always stood for the prayers. Traditionally during confessional prayers one knelt as this posture was accepted as more contrite -- but again, one can still kneel in a contrite position and not be partiularly contrite in one's heart. So it is the attitude to prayer that is important - not whether you sit, stand or kneel. If your church prefers one to the other then join in with the tradition. Otherwise do whatever you feel most comfortable.
