Why Do We Close Our Eyes While Praying by aysnoopy(m): 11:00am On Jan 10, 2021
This question have been running on my mind.
Sometimes people say it's very important we close our eyes.
Why is it necessary to close our eyes while praying and is there any biblical backing on it?

It's very unnecessary especially in somewhere like Oshodi underbridge....

Imagine someone with wild sexual lust who came to church and believes God can deliver him through prayers, and he's now opening this eyes during that prayer in a church where sisters are walking up and down as ushers. Is he serious yet?

Just a point of view!

We close our eyes while praying, to avoid DISTRACTIONS. It makes us focus and single-minded while we pray.
The eyes is the window to the soulish realm. When they are closed, the influence of the distractions around us is reduced.
