Some also pray with there eyes closed because they want to vision Gods face or heaven or sanctuary where they Know that someones for sure listening and a moment of silence goes to that person and GOD.

One advantage to having your eyes closed is that is helps you to concentrate. Prayer is a time to converse with God. By closing your eyes, you are physically shutting out the distractions of the world that will make it difficult to concentrate.
To help push away sensory distractions, making it easier to focus on the realm of spirit rather than the material world.
I would assume that you can pray any which way you want. From what I've heard Jesus isn't one to judge. Do what comes naturally to you.
It is different for various religions, but mostly it is to shut out distractions and to be closer to God. Or whomever it is you're praying to.
bow there heads and close there eyes and don't talk wile someone is praying
Most do but they don't have to if they don't want to.
no praying mantis do not have eyelids
It isn't.
We close our eyes when we pray. This is so that we dont get easily distracted. But it is not wrong to open your eyes in prayer... Unless God gives you a vision of something and shows you through the Holy Spirit, you see what anyone else sees when they close their eyes.. Praying is like talking to God. It's communication.

How would you feel if your kid ignored you all day, and didn't even acknowledge that you were there? The bible also says if you draw close to God he will draw close to you.
Say "Close your eyes."
When You Close Your Eyes was created in 1983.
I Close My Eyes was created in 2001.
though i may be wrong, i don't think there are actual steps to praying, with or without scripture. i either read out the passage or verse and close my eyes (normally it is a Psalm glorifying God or asking for his help.) or you can think about the message of the scripture and pray with that in mind.
