[Public prayer sanctioned]

1 Kings 8:22 King James Version (KJV)

And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:

1 Kings 8:54 King James Version (KJV)

And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the
LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

[Public prayer disapproved]

Matthew 6:5-6 King James Version (KJV)

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
