Posture(s) of Prayer

Have you ever considered how different postures affect the way you pray?

If you are like me, you may have been taught that the “right” or “normal” posture for prayer is eyes closed and maybe even hands folded. You see it in everything from small children to emojis. This is a posture of prayer, but I assure you it is not the posture of prayer. As we follow along the story of God and his kingdom we see his people engaging in different postures of prayer.

(In fact as I read through Matthew I see Jesus much more with his eyes open and hands lifted towards heaven. Just saying.)

One of our MC leaders, Brittany Johnson, put together this resource for their downtown Mesa MC and we thought it would be great to share with you. This “Prayer Postures” tool is a helpful resource for you as a disciple, DNA group, family, or MC to engage afresh in the rhythm of prayer.
