The first time I saw someone actually leave their seat at church to kneel down to pray, I felt uncomfortable. The chruch I grew up in, you would never show this type of humbling in public. It was looked down upon, or at least it felt that way.

But the church I am in now and have been attending for about 6 years, encourages honesty, trust, humility, and…. sincerity. It is ok to show others that you are not perfect and need to get things right with God.

Now, when I see people kneeling before God at church, it warms my heart. I still don’t do it enough out of fear or shame, but I am learning that it is ok for me to be honest infront of those that are there to help me learn and grown in my Christian walk.
