Every Knee Will Bow

Always Kneel to Pray?

Q: Is it a sin to pray lying down instead of kneeling down? Lucy

A: No. Under the New Covenant believers are instructed to pray without ceasing, that is continually, 1 Thess. 5:17. So if kneeling is a pre-requisite of biblical prayer we’d never be able to stand up would we?

In Gethsemane, Christ began praying kneeling (Lk. 22:41) but was soon prostrate, lying face down on the ground. Mk. 14:35, Mtt. 26:39.
