The camel kneels at night to be unloaded. And it kneels again in the morning to receive the load on its shoulders. So, we too must kneel before God in prayer morning and evening. Sometimes to relieve ourselves of the burden of our needs, pains, and sorrows, and sometimes to gain strength for the new burden of the day.
