Most Christians kneel down to say their prayers. They are trying to be in touch with God. But if they are Christians, they know that what is prompting them to pray is also God on the inside. They also know the real knowledge of God comes through Christ, the Man who was God-that is standing beside them, helping them to pray. Excerpt from "It's Prayer Time!" Book
