Welcome to the Excel Stillmore podcast. I am your host, Chris Emerson. I'm here to encourage you in your walk with God. Thank you for joining in.

Today's podcast is sponsored by a wonderful company, Creation to Revelation. This group of Christians believe it is extremely important that we teach the Word of God to our kids.

They have original graphic illustrations from the beginning of the Bible to the end,

featuring the beautiful and consistent presence of Jesus throughout.

You can explore all of that at creation to revelation.com.

I'm so thankful you're here, so let's get started.

Hey, welcome back. I hope that things are going well for you, and I'm glad that you've joined.

I am both thankful and excited today to talk to you about the

connection between two important things, posture and prayer. There are some very practical changes

that I've made in my own life to unite my body and mind in communicating with God. And as I was revisiting and re-implementing those things this week,

I thought, you know, I'm sure I've done an episode on this before, but I think I may need to do

another. And so I scrolled through to find out when, and we have not talked about this. And I

really can't believe it, because my vow to you is to share with you

things that I know can help. And to me, in terms of building a stronger connection to the Lord,

this is near the top of the list. I think probably for most of us, the best connection we've

ever gotten between body orientation and praying to God is to bow our heads. But I need you to see

today there is so much more. There is a strong possibility that if you are anything like me with a

wandering mind that you need more. And today I hope to show you why and exactly what that might be.

But first, let me separate the two words and talk about each of them in their own right, posture and then prayer, because there are

some changes that we may need to consider that have nothing to do with connecting the both of them.

But when we make those changes independently and then connect the two, incredible results are

guaranteed.
