Donna,

I, too, have not been on my knees in prayer for a long time but I remember the times when I did and I felt a closeness and receiving from God like no other time.

I think the humility of bowing shows honor and praise and perhaps in so doing, we receive more favor and recognition?

I don't know. All I know is when I got on my knees in prayer, something wonderful and peaceful happened...

Good topic and question....
