What the scripture says about praying and how should we pray...
{ Few verses about praying... }
※ Posture
When it comes to posture in praying, there is no wrong position GOD has implemented.
even the characters in the bible prayed in many positions like;
●Standing (Genesis 24:12-14)
●Sitting (Judges 20:26)
●Kneeling (Mark 1:40)
●Looking upward (John 17:1)
●Bowing down (Exodus 34:8)
●Placing the head between the knees (1 Kings 18:42)
●Pounding on the breast (Luke 18:13)
●Facing the temple (Daniel 6:10)
But among those characters in the bible who prayed in so many ways,
there are some verses teaching us how we should:
1 Timothy 2:8
I will therefore that men pray every where, LIFTING UP HOLY HANDS, without wrath and doubting.
Lamentations 3:41
Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
Philippians 2
:9 Wherefore GOD ALSO HATH HIGHLY EXALTED HIM, and AND GIVEN HIM A NAME which is above every name:
:10 That at the NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
But these verses doesn't limit us in praying, for the bible also said that we should pray without ceasing...
THUS: whatever we are doing, whether we are sitting, lying, standing etc. we can always pray.
※ Women should be covered while men are uncovered
1 Corinthians 11:4-14
:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
:6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
:12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
※ Be Specific, in your prayers, believe and have faith
Mark 11: 24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Matthew 17:20
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
