The bowing of the head, in almost every culture, is considered a sign of submission and respect. In ancient times the highest rulers, kings or emperors, were considered Gods, or divine incarnations of God. Commoners were not deemed worthy to look them in the eye so they would lower their gaze, or bow their head, to show their devotion. That gesture has been translated to bowing your head when speaking to God in prayer.
