On Our Knees:

Acts 20:36: "And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all."

I Kings 8:54: "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."

Luke 22:41: "And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,"

Daniel 6:10: "Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime."


On Our Face:

Matthew 26:39: "And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

With Our Face Between Our Knees

I Kings 18:42: "So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,"

Prostrated

Psalms 28:2: "Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle."

Lying

Psalms 6:6: "I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears."

Bowing

Exodus 34:8: "And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped."

Sitting

I Chronicles 17:16-27: "And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?" (For the rest of this prayer read verses 17-27)

Standing

Mark 11:25: "And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

There are many more examples in the Bible. Perhaps you can add a few here!

Father, help us to understand that when we pray, it matters not our position in prayer, but it is our position in Christ that makes our prayers effective as well as the condition of our hearts!

Awesome work Gerry! Thanks for putting together all those examples.

Thanks GMI! I am so grateful that we live in a day and age when God has not only given us everything we need in His written Word, but He has supplied us with so many study aids, that it makes it easy to put together things like this. There is an awesome tool I wish everyone would use called Strongs Exhaustive Concordance. There are many other tools as well but this one is so basic, that I see no way to do a serious Bible Study without one.

Also we live in a day when there are so many GREAT Bible Scholars who have written so many books that also make our studies so much easier.
But it is always a thrill to dive into Gods Word and watch Him lead you around!
