What posture did Jesus adopt when He prayed? *He fell on the ground and prayed. Mark 14:35. * He looked up and prayed. John 11:41:43. * He knelt and prayed. Luke 22:41. *He told His followers ‘when you stand praying’.. Mark 11:25. What posture did OT prophets adopt when they prayed? *They fell on their faces and prayed. Numbers 20:6 * They put their faces between their knees and prayed. 1 Kg 18:42 * They bowed their heads and prayed. Exodus 34:8. I’m sure there are other postures as well, but this is all I can find right now. Jesus never adopted any one particular posture for prayer. He fell down, stood up, looked up, bowed down and knelt down when He was talking to the Father; neither did He prescribe any particular prayer posture for His followers. Therefore this ought to lay to rest another Muslim claim that “Christians don’t pray like Jesus prayed”. Now if anyone wants to know what Jesus said about how we should pray, please look at Matthew 6:5-18.
