Where Did Closing Eyes During Prayer Mentioned In The Bible? by Thundeh(m): 3:03pm On Jan 14, 2018
Hello Nairalanders,
I Want to know where closing eyes for prayer session is mentioned in the Bible. Or better still who started the act of shutting eyes while playing.
Then, if it is not Biblical, which denomination started it. Please matured answers required.
Thank you.

I wonder why some people cannot answer simple question without insult. Of course I know distraction is a major reason but some churches lay emphasis on it as if it mandatory in the Bible. You hear the pastor say "Let us close our eyes for prayers" rather than leaving them to use their discretion.
