  • I haven't personally, but it wouldn't bother me with a just all-of-a-sudden got the urge to!
  • Might raise a finger in protest.
  • I never have, I've always been to embarrased to
  • When the spirit moves me--yes. :)
  • Yes, sometimes. Everythng I do is to worship God.
  • I often wonder, if people on both sides of the earth raise their hands to God because they think he's over them in the sky, which one is right?
  • Yes, but only if I am REALLY into the worshiping.
  • I kind of lift them up and fold them together when I pray.
  • Not usually, but I am in no way opposed to the raising of hands to worship God. I believe it is fine to worship God in pretty much any form of expression a person wants.
  • No, I don't.
  • Sometimes. Some stand in the orans posture, the gesture of praying with uplifted hands, during the Lord's prayer. We kneel during the Eucharistic prayer as the bread and wine are changed in the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. In private prayer, you can use whatever postion most helps your prayer. You can: + Stand with hands uplifted and open, looking up with eyes open. This is the oldest posture for prayer. It is called the orans position, from the Latin word for praying. I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer… (1 Timothy 2:8) After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed. (John 17:1) + Stand with hands clasped at the waist, head bowed, and eyes averted or closed. But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ (Luke 18:13) + Kneel, either with the head up, eyes open, hands open, or with head down, eyes closed, and hands clasped. Kneeling shows simple humility and submission. The servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt, and let him go. (Matthew 18:26) After withdrawing about a stone's throw from them and kneeling, he prayed, saying, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done." (Luke 22-41-42) + Sit, head down, eyes averted or closed, and hands clasped. Then King David went in and sat before the LORD and said, "Who am I, Lord GOD, and who are the members of my house, that you have brought me to this point? (2 Samuel 7:18) For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, part four: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt4sect1.shtml Some basic Catholic prayers can be found at: http://www.ewtn.com/Devotionals/prayers/index.htm With love in Christ.
  • yes,,,,,.but not everytime,,,it depends on situation and frame of my mind.
  • Very rarely. I find it to be a bit of "showmanship", the hand/arm-raiser trying to show off how faithful they are (aka boastful)
  • No, I do not raise my hands in worship to God. I know I need to worship God in spirit and in truth. However I am not against people doing so.
  • I do not. I never call attention to myself with regard to my beliefs. What goes on between God and me is very private..just Him and me. I don't need to make any outward show of my beliefs..He knows what is in my heart since I talk to Him every day. Happy Monday Karen Ann! :)
