I quickly searched the forum about this, it may have been covered already so forgive me but...
When I'm in church, I don't close my eyes during prayer and I feel the odd one out as it looks like most (if not all) do. I believe the Bible doesn't offer much on the subject either and most tend to pray eyes closed out of respect and/or to concentrate on the prayer.
I just want to look at the world around me and see the beauty of God, the cross in our church, the green fields and blue sky out the windows.
Do you feel the same as me?
