In reply to David.

Hmm…you make an interesting insight in your parenthetical comment…actually doing something can also affect us in negative ways. I just ate a 3rd chocolate chip cookie after so thoroughly enjoying two. 🙂 My head said no, but my body was already in gear.

Fantastic post. Actually doing something can change us in ways (good and bad) that thinking through can’t.

[…] week the Holy Spirit used Lisa’s post “Put Your Body in Position” to stir something in me. I couldn’t explain what it was, so I waited until Wednesday night […]

I suspect I am mostly a head person, followed by heart. Being physically present with someone in prayer can be very powerful. I have to admit I rarely think about putting my body in position when it comes to prayer. Food for thought. #WotW

I’m a head person, often over analyzing everything. This is a powerful reminder that God wants ALL of us surrendered to Him for Hos glory and our good. Just like it says in Luke, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind”. Mind, body, heart, soul… and all that is included in that (emotions, family, aspirations, fears, friendships, career) surrendered to His leading. Often times it takes our body moving into a position of worship for our mind and heart to follow (and vice versa other times). Thank you for writing this soul-stirring post!

I’m a head person too and rarely want to step out and show overt actions in public, except to walk to communion with folded hands.

I feel like I was in the service with you, longing to move yet feet planted, frozen in place. The Lord is using your words in me in this moment in a way I can’t express right now, but I know this will come back to me. You’ve stirred something in me and I know the Lord will use this to make me step out next time.

Using our body in prayer. Great reminder. Often I sit still yet when I do move I am more engaged wholly and holy. I learned that on my last retreat so use more movements Love your church service illustration.

I am a head person, like to think things through before I open my mouth and stick my foot in it, not always succeed, sometimes comments escape before the brain communicates with the mouth.
How lovely of you to go and support your friend while she was in prayer.

I am generally a head person, but my heart plays a huge part too. My body has given up, no longer able to kneel and often not even able to raise my arms. My soul has to do most of the work now.

You are right: heart and body must never be neglected. #WofW
