do you think a prayer on one's knees is any more powerful than if a person is praying while laying in bed?

Isaiah 58:3-5  

‘Why have we fasted,’ they say,
    ‘and you have not seen it?
Why have we humbled ourselves,
    and you have not noticed?’

“Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please
    and exploit all your workers.
4 Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife,
    and in striking each other with wicked fists.
You cannot fast as you do today
    and expect your voice to be heard on high.
5 Is this the kind of fast I have chosen,
    only a day for people to humble themselves?
Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed
    and for lying in sackcloth and ashes?
Is that what you call a fast,
    a day acceptable to the Lord?

 

Read Isaiah 58,

My most fervent prayer was butt naked in the shower...  it's still the most important day of my life....  including my wedding, and even my birth.

As long as its fervently effectual continual day and prayer expecting your prayers to be answered. IT DOESN'T MATTER!

God's ears are open to the righteous cries of his children.  It matters not where we may be at at the time of our cries.  It matters not if we are sitting down, kneeling down on our beds or in the shower as other one said, as a child's cry can come from about any where and from any circumstance.  What's important is having a heart humble enough to cry out to an all loving God who truly cares about us even if we don't feel it sometimes.  Don't try to put God in a box because he is not limited by the way we think things ought to be in that box.

Why do you ask?  What are you thinking?

As posters above have pointed out, powerful prayers can be made in whatever situation you are in.

That said, generally speaking, one is able to be more grounded and focused on one's knees, rather than lying in a soft warm bed.

This would depend on how painful it is for you to be on your knees.  

The Bible often mentions people prostrating themselves in prayer and worship;  also mentioned are holy men of God raising their arms in prayer, and those who knelt in prayer.   Hannah spoke in her heart and prayed silently with only her lips moving.

I have seen video of Jews at the wailing wall praying with their arms raised and rocking forward and back slightly as they prayed intensely.   

I pray while driving, especially for reckless drivers I see and when I come upon a wreck where people are injured.   Most often I sit while praying.
