This Daily Bread email message was originally sent on 01/14/2004:
Mark 11:25 - And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

From Scripture we can gleam not only example words of prayer but also some other factors involved in the method and manner of prayer. In my last message, I presented the addressing of the prayer and now the posture. The Scriptures do not prescribe any particular posture for prayer and in fact the Bible illustrates many postures. Scripture has examples of prayer while standing, kneeling, lying prostrate on the ground, lying down in bed, walking on water, sitting down, and hanging on the cross. Thus, it is not the posture of the body that is important, but the attitude of the individual. There are, however, more indications in Scripture of standing or kneeling during the approaches to God.
