The knee cap is the strong bone on the front of the knee. Biologically is known as the “patella”. It serves as a covering or protection for the knee but that’s not it major function.

Many do not know it purpose and function; some conclude it is meant to support kneeling. From my own observation, the knee cap is meant to support our kneeling down while praying (Luke 18:1).

God who made man after His own image and likeness knows all what man need and gave it to us. He knows we will need to pray and that’s why He made support for us to pray without much strain to our knees by placing the kneecap on our knees to support our prayers and communication with the heavenly Father.

The importance of prayers cannot be overemphasized and the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (James 5:16). Many do not know the importance of the kneecap because the prayer culture in the society today is not being given much attention. Whoever does not know the importance of prayer cannot know the importance of the kneecap. Without the Kneecap, it would be difficult to pray while kneeling down.

The kneecap today is only being used to punish misbehaving children at home and at school. While this is right because the Holy Bible encourage the discipline of misbehaving children in order not to spoil the child (Proverbs 13:24), the knee cap should be used for it true purpose by teaching and encouraging children and students to use it to pray.

Though kneeling to pray is not the only posture to pray as one can pray in any desired posture, but maintaining a kneeling posture is a sign of respects for God (Romans 14:11). Kneeling while praying is the recommended posture for praying.

You can put the knee cap into good function by praying always with all prayer and supplication and it’s my humble wish that your prayer will be granted (Ephesians 6:18).
