lt depends upon the tradition of the church. Nothing in scripture says that it is 'wrong' to kneel for prayer, stand for prayer or sit for prayer. What is important is that you come to prayer in the right frame of mind. When I was brought up, in the church I attended the tradition was that we knelt for prayer. In my own church we sit for prayer, as most find this posture more comfortable so that one can concentrate on the prayer and not on ones creaky joints! When we spent some time in Norway in 2006, we wennt to a church where they sat for the hymns and always stood for the prayers. Traditionally during confessional prayers one knelt as this posture was accepted as more contrite -- but again, one can still kneel in a contrite position and not be partiularly contrite in one's heart. So it is the attitude to prayer that is important - not whether you sit, stand or kneel. If your church prefers one to the other then join in with the tradition. Otherwise do whatever you feel most comfortable.

What does kneel mean?

To kneel is to stand on your knees rather than your feet. In most cases this means resting on both knees, but when kneeling as a sign of respect (e.g. to a monarch), one knee touches the ground while the other leg bends. The attitude when pleading for something or when at prayer has both knees on the ground.
