LORD,

PROP US UP...

Every time I am asked to pray, I think of the old deacon

who

always

prayed, 'Lord, prop us up on our leanin' side.'

After

hearing him pray that prayer m any 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

lik

e 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, l eaning 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.''

If you stare at this barn for a second you will see who will help us

stand

Straight

and tall again.

Pass

this on to others who might need Propping Up, if you wish to!
