[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1206043, member: 1246"] Every time I am asked to pray, I think of the old fellow who[COLOR=#2f2f2f] always prayed, 'Lord, prop us up on our leanin' side. '[/COLOR]After hearing him pray that prayer many times, someone asked [COLOR=#2f2f2f]him why he prayed that prayer so fervently . [/COLOR] He answered, 'Well sir, you see, it's like this... I got an old barn[COLOR=#2f2f2f] out back. It's been there a long time; it's withstood a lot of weather; it's gone through a lot of storms, and it's stood for many years. [/COLOR]It's still standing. But one day I noticed it was leaning to[COLOR=#2f2f2f] one side a bit.[/COLOR][COLOR=blue]So I went and got some pine poles and propped it up on its[/COLOR][COLOR=blue] leaning side so it wouldn't fall[/COLOR][COLOR=#2f2f2f]. [/COLOR]Then I got to thinking about that and how much I was[COLOR=#2f2f2f] like that old barn. I've been around a long time. [/COLOR]I've withstood a lot of life's storms. I've withstood a lot of bad[COLOR=#2f2f2f] weather in life, I've withstood a lot of hard times, and I'm still standing too. But I find myself leaning to one side from time to time, so I like to ask the Lord to prop us up on our leaning side, 'cause I figure a lot of us get to leaning at times.[/COLOR] Sometimes we get to leaning toward anger, leaning toward[COLOR=#2f2f2f] bitterness, leaning toward hatred, leaning toward cussing, leaning toward a lot of things that we shouldn't . So we need to pray, 'Lord, prop us up on our leanin' side, so we will stand straight and tall again, to glorify the Lord.'' [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
