Bless (Kneel before) the Lord!

Are you surprised that many people in the church find it difficult to cut loose and praise the Lord?
I have heard the same reply to my pleas for folks to sing and, with greater liberty, express their joy in the salvation of the Lord that many song leaders and minister have heard: "I am worshipping God inside and feel more comfortable being quiet and meditating. I like things to be reverent."
They may be meditating, but based on scripture, which is our foundation for everything in life, they cannot be worshipping or praising if they are doing nothing. The atmosphere may appear to be reverent, but to revere God is to esteem who He is and obey His commands.
And, there are quiet methods of praise, one in particular - barak - which means to kneel, to bless God. - from a Hebrew word that is translated "praise".
Surprise again! I don't see many church members kneeling. Fewer still lie prostrate on the floor at the "altar of God" to ask for and expect a miracle from God in whatever circumstance they find themselves.
At best, soft, cushioned pews are filled (and often, large swaths of the seats are empty). Church-goers seem content to sit there during corporate praise and worship, through the sermon and past the altar call. No response to the moving of Holy Spirit.
Psalm 72 says: "For He will deliver the needy when he cries for help ... He will have compassion on the poor and needy ... He will rescue their life from oppression and violence; ... Let them bless (barak) Him all day long."
Some will charge believers with "begging" God for His help. "Barak" is not about begging.
We all are certainly needy enough to warrant begging - if God required for us to plead for His help. He does not. His grace and mercy, His help for whatever our need, is already offered, and it is "more than sufficient."
The attitude described in the word "barak" is one of coming before God because we know He will meet our most basic and greatest need, sin and separation from God, through the shed blood of Jesus; our need for eternal fellowship with God, authorized by God raising Jesus from the dead; and our needs while still here on earth, in tender loving care far beyond what we deserve.
We kneel or bow before Him. Nothing needs to be said, though our lips may even here express our gratitude. Our hearts are filled with expectation that the Lord will accept us into His presence and bless us with His abundant mercy.
I can only conclude again that I and many like me are failing to draw near to God - as He has urged us (ME) to do - and not fully realized how GREAT is His compassion and grace toward us (ME). Otherwise, we would without hesitation, at church or anywhere we are, acknowledge Him and "barak" - kneel or prostrate ourselves  - often. It would not take an "act of congress" or a ritual to get us on our knees or faces before God.
