21 Day Spiritual Journey

Standing prayers are for blessings, thanksgiving, worship, and praise. Many churches practice standing during the reading of God’s word, communion and intercessory prayers. Seeing the church gather and stand at the ready of God’s word proves that there are Christians who honor, revere, and respect the Word of God.

A seated prayer position typically demonstrates seeking guidance, counsel or instruction from the Lord. Sometimes we read how one would use a seated position to simply be alone, find calm, peace, quiet, and just bask in the presence of God. Jesus often went to be alone with His Father and pray.
