The Bible says WATCH and PRAY. So the choice is ours.

The Bible is subject to varying interpretations. You choose to interpret your version, the best way it fits your agenda.

yes! It's more than a necessity. It simply helps you to focus and prevent distraction frm d immediate environment.

It's not a law nor commandment written in the Bible, it's just a tradition. But it's necessary to avoid distractions.

There is no scripture to this effect of closing eyes... Just like there is no scripture for kneeling down or wearing scarf to pray... Hence if you can stay FOCUSED with your eyes open then pray that way... The main point is prayer must be without ceasing. Bless ya
but there's a scripture that says a wife must cover their heads right?

Funny it's true but instead they cover their hairs.... Not head... The man over the woman is already a covering
