Prayer for God to Prop Us Up On Leaning Side


It is my prayer that God props me up on my leaning side. Just heard it from Pastor Jentezen Franklin as he preached that someone in his church always ended prayed with that. The man lived out in the country and one time saw his old barn leaning after weathering so many storms, hurricanes, winds, heat, you name it. So he propped it up.

It is my prayer that God may prop you up on your leaning side.

 Once we have weathered many storms, many winds, many hurricanes, heat, and floods in our lives, we become so worn down emotionally, mentally, socially, physically, financially and spiritually. We may think of even quitting! We may even think of abandoning our Loving and Gracious God! We may start leaning back towards sin yet not even see it yet others may see it. We may start leaning back in secret towards sin and in private behind closed doors especially in our homes! Our prayer should be to ask God to prop us up on our leaning side.

 We may lean towards sexual sin, towards anger, towards stealing, towards cheating, towards hate, towards selfishness, towards untruthfulness, towards deceiving others, towards infidelity, towards losing faith and hope in God, towards apostasy, falling away from God, and so many others. Our prayer should be always to ask God to prop us up on our leaning side. We all have a leaning side. If its not in one then the other at any given time.
