THROUGH THE LENS OF THE SCRIPTURE

The Forward Head Posture

BY: Dr. Alan Mandell

KEY BIBLE VERSE

And when you assume the posture of prayer, remember that it's not all asking. If you have anything against someone, forgive - only then will your heavenly Father be inclined to also wipe your slate clean of sins.

Mark 11: 25, MSG
