A few years back Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve gave a talk in General Conference on prayer in which he said, "Physical position is less important than is spiritual submission to God." You can read that talk here: LDS.org - Ensign Article - Sweet Power of Prayer I was watching an old Disney movie recently with my children called The Three Lives of Thomasina. At one point in the movie this guy has a conversation with his pastor that really struck me. I typed it out. Pastor: Pray for God's help and mercy. Andrew: Pray. Pastor: Yes, pray, because if ever there was a man in need of mercy it is you. Andrew: You know i'm not one for praying, for goin' down on my knees. Pastor: Well pray on your feet, man! It's what's in your heart and mind that matters, not whether you kneel or not. Though that would be good for your soul! It's this stubborn pride of yours that has made you live inside yourself so long. Andrew: I've forgotten how to pray. I can't do it. I can't feel the need for it. Pastor: Humble yourself, Andrew. Humble yourself.
