Vote on a pollIs closing your eyes in prayer necessary?My answer would be a combination of the first two options. I don't think it's necessary, but I do think it is advisable since there is so much that can distract you if you have your eyes open. It's probably more of an individual thing. I personally pray with my eyes closed most of the time because I know myself and how distracted I would be. There are times when I open my eyes, but that's usually at something like a prayer meeting where I've written down a bunch of requests and need to remind myself of what to pray for next. I read the list, and then immediately close my eyes again so that I can focus on what I'm praying for. Another time would be when I'm driving my car - that would be a time when I would say it is necessary to pray with your eyes open!! But some people may have enough self-control to be able to pray with their eyes open all the time. |
