Why Do Christians Close Eyes While Praying? by Nobody: 10:11am On Mar 30, 2010
This topic is totally random. I was just wondering why we close our eyes when we pray. It has been instilled in me right from sunday school to always close my eyes. I think d reason then was to prevent distraction, esp as children. Now that i'm all grown up does that still apply? Is it a biblical injunction or something? Cos whenever my eyes are open during prayers, i feel a lil guilty.
So my question is, as christians is it mandatory to close our eyes when in prayer.
BTW cud u also touch a little on covering of hair 4 women as well. Thanks
