Both in public and in private worship it is our privilege to bow on our knees before God when we offer our petitions to Him. Jesus, our example, "kneeled down, and prayed." Luke 22:41. Of his disciples it is recorded that they, too, "kneeled down, and prayed." Acts 9:40. Paul declared, "I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 3:14. In confessing before God the sins of Israel, Ezra knelt. See Ezra 9:5. Daniel "kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God." Daniel 6:10.

Både når vi holder andagt alene og sammen med andre, er det vor forret at bøje vore knæ for Gud, mens vi opsender vor bøn til ham. Jesus, vort eksempel, "faldt på knæ" når han bad. Luk. 22,41. Der står også, at hans disciple "faldt på knæ og bad". Apg. 9,40. Paulus sagde: "For denne sags skyld bøjer jeg mine knæ for Faderen." Ef. 3,14. Ezra knælede også, da han bekendte Israels synder over for Gud. Se Ezra 9,5. Daniel "faldt på bæ tre gange om dagen og bad og priste sin Gud". Dan. 6,10.
