Additional: We pray whenever we need help from Jehovah God, we can go to him whenever is necessary and we try our best to please him. You don't even necessarily have to have your eyes closed to pray, if you are having a heard time with a certain subject that your trying to explain to someone or if your having some type of difficult with being persecuted then all you have to do is say a short prayer to Jehovah and no matter what he will be there for you. One example is if you are very scared about going in the door-to-door ministry as many are, then you simply say a quick prayer for Jehovah's Holy Spirit and he will get you through it.
