The power of bending the knee!
An elderly woman went to the temple to thank the LORD for his infinite mercy to her and bowed his knees in a sign of deep joy, peace and above all confidence that her prayer was raised like the smoke of incense and answered in due time. She had experienced in her daily life the economic, familiar lack and the most feared, terrible and painful loneliness, which no human being is able to face and endure; in her despair she bowed her knees, closed her eyes and with a broken voice and with an indescribable pain in her heart cried out to heaven and the LORD answered her request and provided everything necessary. She was so amazed, that same afternoon her two (2) only children she had not seen for more than fifteen (15) years arrived on the road, visited her and brought her gifts! And they even made the market for six (6) months each shared their life experiences. The woman with tears in her eyes now experienced the happiness that comes from life.
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them and delivers them from all their troubles.
