Lord prop us up!!

[cateyes1]

Every time I am asked to pray, I think of the old fellow who always  prayed, 'Lord, prop us up on our leanin' side.' After hearing him pray that prayer many times, someone asked him why he prayed that prayer so fervently.
 
He answered, 'Well sir, you see, it's like this... I got an old  barn out back.  It's been there a long time; it's withstood a lot of weather; it's gone through a lot of storms, and it's stood  for many years.
 
It's still standing. But one day I noticed it was leaning  to one side a bit.
 
So I went and got some pine poles and propped it up on its leaning side so it wouldn't fall.
 
Then I got to thinking about that and how much I was like that old barn.. I've been around a long time..
 
I've withstood a lot of life's storms. I've withstood a lot of bad weather in life, I've withstood a lot of hard times, and I'm still standing too. But I find myself leaning to one side from time to time, so I like to ask the Lord to prop us up on our leaning side, 'cause I figure a lot of us get to leaning at times.
 
Sometimes we get to leaning toward anger, leaning toward bitterness leaning toward hatred, leaning toward cussing, leaning toward a lot of things that we shouldn't . So we need to pray, 'Lord, prop us up on our leaning side, so we will stand straight and tall again, to glorify the Lord.''

Thank you, cateyes1.  It is exhilarating to read something like that.  Knowing that it was you, I expected a laugh, but I got even more; the man is right.  We need to stand upright and lean on the Lord more.

I am only 25 years old but I think in some ways I have been through a lot of tough situations for my age and I think this is a neat story.  Sometimes I think that verse "I can do all things" should be "I can go through all things".

I like that story.  We all need propping up now and again.

I know I need a little propping up occasionally! :-
