lying in bed

[NINA84]

Is it wrong to pray lying in bed?
most of the time, when I m back from work, Im so tired as I sometimes spend 15 hours a day at the hospital.
I try to be at least sitting on my bed or knealing but, then I feel like lying down and most of the time I fall asleep while praying.

A friend of mine told me he needed to kneel down each night to pray to the Lord.
I don't feel this way... am I wrong?

I hear radio preachers say it dosent matter if you praying on your knees or stadning on your head.
However if you find your self nodding off in prayer it might help you to kneel to stay focused in your prayer

You can pray anywhere, anytime. The apostle Paul tells the Thessalonians to pray without ceasing.

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ESV)

jonmolby said what I was going to say...pray without ceasing...so if you're in bed, pray! If you're doing dishes, pray! If you're getting the mail, pray! It's not an order but an invitation

The question you need to answer is do you have religion or faith?

Have a look at this you may find it helpful.

We are no longer under the law, but under grace. I virtually never pray kneeling down (unless sincerely moved to do so, otherwise it's just hypocrisy). Sometimes my most broken prayers of repentance or intercession for someone have come while sitting on the edge of my bed just speaking silently to the Lord. Permit the Holy Spirit to guide you and don't force yourself into a ritual.

Dear friend you answered your own question ---getting in bed before praying will mean NO PRAYING....right? You will fall asleep ---I usually do. Actually you can pray and commune with God anywhere ("Lo! I am with you always", Jesus said ---if one knows Him personally).

Bowing down before God is a very godly thing to do ---see many verses on this. It shows humility and honor and reverence to our Holy God.

Not if your heart is fixed on HIM, you're not wrong. Be blessed and Shalom

Nope. You can pray running, on your face, on your back, in a spaceship, in a house, with a mouse, or with green eggs and ham. It don't matter to Jesus!
