Jesus would look up to heaven when He prayed. I do find it helpful to close my eyes and find that my mind provides plenty of distractions that I can bring to God (since these are things that are obviously on my mind). It is so great how God meets me right where I am in my day even if I’m angry with Him or thinking He has nothing to offer me at that moment. Prayer does not have to be limited to a time when we are “being spiritual.” Some of my favorite times are when God meets me at work (I’m a training analyst for the Navy, so it’s not like I’m thinking about God in direct relation to my work).
Sometimes if I want to focus on some specific items for prayer I actually stand because if I’m sitting I may doze off …
