Vic Knowles has been writing things for years that draw people closer to God and each other. He posted this as an old poem

TRAVELING ON MY KNEES

Last night I took a journey

To a land across the seas;

I did not go by boat or plane,

I traveled on my knees.

I saw so many people there

In deepest depths of sin,

But Jesus told me I should go,

That there were souls to win.

But I said, “Jesus I cannot go

And work with such as these.”

He answered quickly, “Yes you can

By traveling on your knees.”

He said, “You pray; I’ll meet the need,

You call and I will hear;

Be concerned about lost souls,

Of those both far and near.”

And so I tried it, knelt in prayer,

Gave up some hours of ease;

I felt the Lord right by my side

While traveling on my knees.

As I prayed on and saw souls saved

And twisted bodies healed,

And saw God’s workers’ strength renewed

While laboring on the field.

I said, “Yes, Lord I have a job,

My desire Thy will to please;

I can go and heed Thy call

By traveling on my knees

Mark 11.

22 And Jesus answered and *said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted to him. 24 Therefore, I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted to you. 25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you for your [g]offenses. 26 [[h]But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your [i]offenses.”]
