I’ll go first…
It feels like surrender. It feels like humility. It feels like lowliness. It feels like acknowledging my weakness. It feels like apologising for trying to do life on my own. It feels like being met with grace. It feels like hope. It feels like peace. It feels like rest.
And even though I know it feels like this - and these feelings don’t scare me - I often struggle to get on my knees. I think one of the biggest things that stops me is not wanting to face my burdens. I try to resist because I don’t want to confront the sadness I try to bottle up or the deep worries I feel… So I just put it off. Or sometimes I feel numb to my emotions and my head heart feels too full and overwhelmed with meaningless, emptiness - or from bottled emotions - and I feel like I can’t process anything. Or sometimes I don’t even know why, getting on my knees just feels like the hardest thing to do - as if it takes so much energy and strength… But it doesn’t, it gives it. It’s the source!
I know it feels like rest. And strengthening. And re-energising.
And, like Willem, I know that I need to get on my knees everyday.
And I pray that God would help me past my excuses and that my knees will hurt more and more.
