Do not get down on your knees to pray just to show God that you always remember him. Instead stay on your feet, and always do as he would do in place of him.

About This Quote

An old adage that was repeatedly stolen by religious leaders to remind their followers never to bow down before God or anyone else. The basis of this saying is the idea that, if you are always remembering God, you are simply showing how much you love him. If you are not done bowing down for his presence, then do nothing but stay on your feet. You are giving him all the worship that he desires with your actions. This is an important reminder that you should not just pray to prove your love for God, but instead simply live as he would want you to live.
