Does it matter what position we are in when we pray?
What is the christian way to pray?
i am asking this because in prayer time at school I notice some children assume the lotus position, I asked our bible teacher and she says it doesnt matter, but I find it a bit disturbing because its associated with new age and hinduism. The way she does it is to ask the children to bow their heads and close their eyes. And put their hands together so they dont fidget. Then she prays and the children repeat the prayer after her.
What about the stipulation in corinthians that women cover their heads and men dont? Are the men men to lift up their hands? Would appreciate some biblical advice.
I know muslims kneel and touch their heads to the floor they have prayer rugs, and need to face to Mecca. None of the children do that, but I imagine if some came from a muslim background they would.
