People in the Bible prayed standing, lifting up their hands, sitting, lying down, kneeling, lifting their eyes toward Heaven, bowing and pounding their chests. God does not teach us the place to pray, because any place will do. People in the Bible prayed during battle, in a cave, in a closet, in a garden, on a mountainside, by a river, by the sea, in the street, in Hades, in bed, in a home, in a prison, in the wilderness, and in a fish. Jesus does not tell us when to pray, because any time will do. People in the Bible are found praying early in the morning, in the mid-morning, in the evening, three times a day, before meals, after meals, at bedtime, at midnight, and day and night.
People pray when they are young, when they are old, when they are in trouble, every day and always.
In any posture, at any time, in any place, and under all circumstances-prayer is good and needed in the life of the Christian. The Bible identifies several different types of prayers we can pray. Each letter stands for a specific aspect of prayer, arranged in a very natural order. This puts things in perspective for us. When we take time to praise and worship God in our prayers, we are placing God where He rightfully belongs.
