Answer 1

Very interesting way to think about that. For me, though, bowing my head is a sign of respect and reverence for God.

Answer 2

Luke
"9": And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

"10": Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

"11": The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

"12": I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

"13": And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

"14": I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Answer 5

Respect.

Answer 6

There is no one way to pray... whatever it takes to get it done is what God will accept. One word is enough... "Help"... or a day of praise... youcan pray driving down th highway... or in a crowded theater... loudly or silently... position dose not matter.

We bow out of reverence for God.

Answer 8
