Aside from the fact that we are to pray in the name of Jesus, who opens the door to our intimate relationship with God, there is no correct" posture or way to pray. Note the different ways people in the Bible prayed:
Jeremiah stood before God to pray for his people (Jeremiah 18:20).
Peter knelt to pray (Acts 9:40).
Nehemiah sat down when he prayed (Nehemiah 1:4).
Abraham prostrated himself while praying (Genesis 17:3).
Ezekiel prayed in a loud voice (Ezekiel 11:13).
Hannah prayed silently to the Lord (1 Samuel 1:13).
Paul prayed and sang in the spirit (1 Corinthians 14:15).
David prayed in the morning (Psalm 5:3).
Isaac prayed out in his field in the evening (Genesis 24:63).
Daniel prayed in his house three times a day (Daniel 6:10).
Anna prayed night and day in the temple (Luke 2:37).
And the staff members at The Outreach of Hope have their own favorite ways and places to pray: Dave prays in the shower.
Jan prays all over the house.
Kim prays in the car (with her eyes open).
Betsy prays when she's out shopping.
Diana prays at the kitchen table.
