I dont have a posture, the important thing for me, is to make sure i have no bitterness to anyone, to forgive freely because of Jesus and his Spirit, is to speak his word, and believe his word (for we need faith, and diligence, and God rewards those who diligently seek him) and call on his name.

Before praying we should not have any fight with anyone, and if we have anything weighing us down we should put it at the feet of the Lord.
And what the Spirit of God helped me to do, is to pray for the good of everyone even my enemies, because Christ shed his blood for everyone. smiley smiley

I can be sitting and can be standing, i can be running, i can be eating. We do not have to follow any specific way, because we have relationship with God, and we depend on God for everything and we should be lead by his Spirit, not by mans laws. However in Church within an assembly of people, i prefer and should act in order, and i do what I am told, like closing my eyes, or bowing down to Jesus name, so there is no disorder and everyone is focused. Also when i am with others, i pray in silence, standing if its required, bowing if its required, so others are encouraged and that there is order.

I feel more connected sitting and praying. Sitting straight up and not in a reclining position. It helps me focus and prevents distractions for me.

Even in church, after a while of standing to , I find myself sitting to continue praying

And my second position is lying face down.
Awesome God!
Glory, Honor and adoration are yours oh! Faithful and ever merciful God.

I dedicate this comment to the suffering masses that need God's intervention. Lord of hosts intervene in their situation and prove yourself mighty in their lives.

Happy Sunday to you all irrespective of tribe, political party or religion

ebubeson:
Some may love kneeling down mostly when praying or standing or lying down or walking or sitting. Whichever way, let your prayers be of quality..

So what is your best posture or position when praying?
When I am walking , when I am working , when I am exercising, when I am driving, while relaxing on my bed... even sometimes in the middle of a conversation with people- without interrupting the conversation. In short , as I am living my life, in Virtually any position.

But if I must pick only one position i will pick the lotus position, sitting on the floor, with my legs crossed, my hands open on my lap, eyes closed with my head tilted slightly upward.

This position makes me feel the Father-Son connection the most. Prayer is more about listening to God than spewing so many words. That's why Jesus says, do not be like the Pharisees who think they will be heard because of their many words. Ecclesiastes says: when you come to God, draw near to listen, rather than offer the sacrifices of fools.

But for many, prayer is mostly about asking and begging God to help them with something. And half of the time they are not even praying
To God but talking to devils
And demons, binding , casting , and sending to ends of the bottom less pit , never to return again. And the next day they repeat. That is not prayer.

No matter the position or posture, if u are bad and wicked, your prayers are just a joke
It's been hell on earth here in Nigeria. I can't type what I'm going through in this period. Life is tasteless.

I learned long ago, Mans outward appearance does not really matter, we can pretend and bow down and kneel but God sees US.

God is spirit and those who worship him, should worship him in Spirit and truth.

But God's ways are not our ways.

There is no amount of reference you give to God that is enough.
If you like summersault while Praying.

That's why you can use the common "you" for God.
The same "You" that you will use for your junior brother.

Pray while lying down, kneeling down, standing up, anyhow. Just make sure your heart and mind are in tune with heaven.

ItsReal:
In Matthew 26:39 and Mark 14:35, we are told Jesus fell with his head (face) toward the ground and he prayed. However, does Scripture reveal other ways God's people prayed? Yes

Kneeling - 1 Kings 8:54; Daniel 6:10 (and prayed three times per day); Acts 7:60, 20:36; Ephesians 3:14; Philippians 2:9-11.
Standing - 2 Chronicles 20:5.
Facedown - Numbers 16:22, 20:6; Joshua 5:14; Revelation 7:11.
Hands Raised - Psalms 134:2, 141:2.


Numbers 20:6

Then Moses and Aaron came in from the presence of the assembly to the doorway of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to them;

1 Chronicles 29:20

Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless the Lord your God.” And all the assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers, and bowed low and did homage to the Lord and to the king.

Revelation 7:11

And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

Genesis 17:3

Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,

1 Kings 18:39

When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The Lord, He is God; the Lord, He is God.”

Nehemiah 8:6

Then Ezra blessed the Lord the great God. And all the people answered, “Amen, Amen!” while lifting up their hands; then they bowed low and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground.

Matthew 2:11

After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Matthew 17:6

Verse Concepts

When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground and were terrified.

Matthew 26:39

And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.”

1 Samuel 24:8

Now afterward David arose and went out of the cave and called after Saul, saying, “My lord the king!” And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the ground and prostrated himself.

Exactly.

Imagine a Person who loves wicked things, who pretends and bows before God to show others, he or she is respectful to God. God is spirit, and we cannot deceive such a being. It would be better for that person to fear God first.

In the church, as instructed by the pastor.

I dedicate DADDY WEY DEY PAMPER to myself. Great jam!

You made complete sense.

Because there is nowhere you can't pray therefore you can pray in any position.

Praying in the bus must you kneel down?

Or in the Airplane must you lie face down to pray.

Many don't consider all these.

Shikena.
it's the posture that keeps the heart and mind in tune. For example the meditation posture relaxed the soul. Putting one forehead on the floor shows total humility. It reduces one's ego and pride. Kneeling shows one is seeking mercy/forgiveness. Raising both hands shows praise and salutations. Etc this are just my personal opinion. It like those Olympic athletes. They have ways which they carry their body which gives different results.
