Prayer is an appeal to God, or to a saint, or to a Guardian Angel. This is a conversation of the soul with the upper world, which is very far from us in the everyday rush. And in prayer we can reach him with our aspirations, feelings and thoughts.
Therefore, it does not matter in which position a person prays - sitting, standing, on his knees or somehow. Sick people generally pray while lying down, but their prayers are also heard.
Orthodoxy prescribes standing prayers, sitting in Catholic churches, Muslims pray on their knees, Buddhists in the lotus position. Now even a computer can become a guide to the world of prayer if a person listens to a sermon on the Internet. He can also read prayers on websites and teach them, follow live broadcasts from major religious holidays. Time goes forward, along with it the form of participation in prayers changes, but the meaning remains the same.
History examples
If you recall the holy elders - Sergius of Radonezh prayed in the forest, sitting on a stump. Beasts passed by him and did not touch him - the protection of the higher forces was so strong by his prayer.
And all because he did not pray for himself, but for all the people and for all Russia, which at that time was moaning from the Tatar-Mongol yoke. It was to Father Sergius that Dmitry Donskoy came to ask for blessings before the great Battle of Kulikovo, and the elder blessed him and prayed for victory day and night.
And when Dmitry won - Sergius felt this two days before the messenger arrived with good news. Because "prayed" people have a sense of knowledge, or foresight - they can foresee events.
Therefore, making your requests, do not forget to pray for your country, for your city or village, and then for your family and for yourself.
