Should You Kneel to Pray Each Night or Can You Say Your Prayers While Lying in Bed?

Elder David A. Bednar gave a wonderful talk about visiting the savannah of Africa and watching two cheetahs patiently stalk their prey. The topis remained alert however and escaped just in time. He compared it to spiritual warnings in our lives. He said, "Spiritual complacency and casualness make us vulnerable to the advances of the adversary. Spiritual thoughtlessness invites great danger into our lives...Focusing our lives in and on the Savior and His gospel enables us to overcome the tendency of the natural man to be spiritually snoozy and lazy. As we are blessed with eyes to see and ears to hear, the Holy Ghost can increase our capacity to look and listen when we may not typically think we need to look or listen or when we may not think anything can be seen or heard."1

We all have times when we fight the battle of laziness, even with something as simple as getting down on our knees to pray. We may think it is only something minor but I am certain that it is not. I say this because of my own natural man moments. On cold nights when we want to jump into bed and barricade the cold with our comforter, it is tempting to forego kneeling. There are times when we feel too tired to really say anything of importance. I know for myself, there have been prayers where I told my Father that I didn't have words for everything going on in my heart. Sometimes my tears serve as the only form of communication but the act of bowing before Him helps me stay in my place. It keeps me a little more humble. It helps me recognize His greatness and His mercy just a little more. When I take time to recognize those characteristics in Him, I can feel the Spirit more powerfully.

Can everyone get down on their knees? No. There may be some people with physical limitations who cannot do so but everyone can choose a place that helps them feel nearer to heaven. Will there be times when laying bed is an acceptable place to pray? Yes, on occasion but we must be conscientious that it does not become the rule rather than the exception.

I am fascinated by the Jewish religion in many ways but one of the things that impresses me most is their desire to keep the name of God holy. They do not speak His name unnecessarily, in jest, or as an expletive. Even when writing His name, they leave out a letter to keep the word incomplete. All this to honor and glorify His name. I believe as we cherish and protect His name, we have a greater tenderness in our relationship with Him.

John Taylor, the third President of the Church, reported: “Some years ago, in Nauvoo, a gentleman in my hearing, a member of the Legislature, asked Joseph Smith how it was that he was enabled to govern so many people, and to preserve such perfect order; remarking at the same time that it was impossible for them to do it anywhere else. Mr. Smith remarked that it was very easy to do that. ‘How?’ responded the gentleman; ‘to us it is very difficult.’ Mr. Smith replied, ‘I teach them correct principles, and they govern themselves.’”2

When we understand how sacred and special prayer is, I believe we make the principle of prayer a holy and sacred experience. Kneeling feels like a more appropriate way to help us be humble as we seek our God.

  • I’ve been in crypto for a few years though not a complete beginner, but definitely not a pro. Over time, I built up a decent portfolio, mostly stablecoins like USDT, spread across Ethereum, BSC, and occasionally Tron. I knew enough to move things around confidently… or so I thought. One night, I was transferring $180,000 worth of USDT from my Ethereum wallet to what I thought was my Binance Smart Chain wallet. I copied the BSC address from Trust Wallet, pasted it into MetaMask, and hit send. Gas fee confirmed, transaction successful. Then it hit me. I had sent ERC-20 tokens to a BEP-20 address—same string, sure, but completely different networks. The USDT was gone. Not stolen, not failed—just stuck. Sitting on the Ethereum blockchain, locked in a wallet address I couldn’t access on that chain. And since it was technically a valid transaction, there was no way to cancel or reverse it. I spent the next two days in full crisis mode on Reddit threads, YouTube tutorials, random Telegram “experts.” Most people said the funds were unrecoverable. A few hinted at some complicated “maybe” solutions, but none of that gave me any confidence. MetaMask couldn’t help, Binance said it was out of their control, and even a few friends of mine said I was probably out of luck. Then someone in a crypto dev group mentioned a company called SpyHost Cybersecurity Company. I’d never heard of them before, but the way they talked about them—it wasn’t like your typical “we recover your funds” type of service. This sounded more serious, like real professionals. From the first interaction, it felt different. They weren’t asking dumb questions or throwing out vague promises. I was assigned a case manager. And very possible—if handled right. Turns out, since I controlled both the Ethereum wallet (that sent the funds) and the BSC wallet (where I intended to receive them), they could use that to construct a custom recovery transaction. SpyHost had built their own internal tools to deal with this exact kind of issue—cases where tokens are trapped between chains but tied to the same address. And after about 72 hours, just like they said, the USDT hit my wallet( The full $180,000) What impressed me the most wasn’t just that they recovered the funds—it was how they handled the entire process. Professional, secure, detailed. Since then, I’ve recommended SpyHost Cybersecurity Company to anyone even remotely involved in crypto. Whether you’re a trader, investor, or just holding some coins for the long haul—if you ever find yourself in a mess like I was, these are the people you want in your corner and they can be reached out to through their official E-mail address which is (Spyhost@cyberdude. com)
