when laying prostrate before God what should I doing?

James T Furbert An example of God answering prayer from the heart, In 1 Samuel 1 man named Elkanah had two wives Hannah and Peninnah,Peninnah bear him children but Hannah didn't. In eastern culture if you can't bear children you are looked down on with disgrace, in verse 7 it says she wept and did not eat you think this wasn't eating at her. Verse 10 Hannah was in the temple of the lord was in bitterness of soul prayed unto the Lord and wept sore. Next verse she vowed a vow and made a commitment very specific here my affliction remember me and give me a man child and I will commit Him to you. Eli the priest marked her mouth that means to observe, then Eli thought she was drunk Hannah corrects him then the answer to her prayer verse 17 Then Eli said Go In peace and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast ask of Him. Next verse Let thine handmade find grace in thy sight, {anything given by God is grace} so the woman went her way and did eat and her countenance was no more sad. God answered in abundance,she gave birth to Samuel a prophet of the most high but, also you read in 2 Samuel 2;21 she bore three more sons and two daughters tremendous answer to prayer because God saw her Heart and new she would carry out what she vowed. Something to think about God Bless

The Lords Prayer. Pause on each verse and add your thoughts, requests, thanks, worship, help, confession, to wear the Armor of God against enemies, power and wisdom, mercy and Grace.

In your own words, and then be silent before God and Listen with your spirit.

Precious friend, James, I would suggest Main Focus to be on this, while lying "prostrate Before God":

Is not the Solution to Confusion recognizing God's Differences Between "HIS Relationship With us," And "our fellowship with HIM!"?

God's Will, Today, Under HIS PURE GRACE? Very Simply:

(1) God Establishes HIS Eternal Relationship With those who humbly:

believe, 100% trust, place Total faith, In The LORD JESUS CHRIST, HIS Death {Precious BLOOD}, Burial, And HIS Resurrection, According To The Scriptures! ( 1 Corinthians 15:3-4) ( Ephesians 2:8-9) ( Romans 3-5)

"GRACE Through faith" In The Merits Of HIS Precious And ALL-Sufficient BLOOD Results:

All sins Forgiven, HIS Eternal Life, And, Peace With God! {This Is Eternal DELIVERANCE From the PENALTY of sin!} ETERNAL Justification First, And, THEN:

(2) The believer SHOULD do "good works" {Which will NEVER EQUAL CHRIST's PAYMENT For the above PENALTY of sin!}, for Which we Are Created In CHRIST JESUS, to perform for HIM, having "been Called into fellowship With HIM!" Amen?:

We "work out OUR OWN salvation" {This SHOULD Be a lifetime of DELIVERANCE From the POWER of sin!} Sanctification:

(2a) Fulfil ALL Of His Law, In "ONE Word: LOVE your neighbor as yourself!" ( Galatians 5:14) ( Romans 13:8-10)

(2b) Study HIS Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided, to show yourself Approved Unto God! ( 2 Timothy 2:15) - Have Plenty of examples of this, if you wish...

Eternal Results: reward {or loss} ( 1 Corinthians 3 : 7-15), ruling and reigning With CHRIST, Which Will FINALLY Be At The Judgment Day:

(3) CHRIST's GLORIFICATION of All "members" Of HIS Body!! {This Is Eternal DELIVERANCE From the PRESENCE of sin!} Amen?

Conclusion:

BIG Differences Between God's Relationship And our fellowship! Correct?

James Worshipping God has nothing to do with physical position has everything to do with thoughts on His word and where your heart. God looks on our hearts. I believe its in Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. Also Ephesians 5:19+20 part of worshipping is also being thankful. Walking with God is more inspiration than perspiration most other stuff is religious action. God Bless
