Do you "see" God when praying?

[TheAnswer99]

When I pray, I neither see anything or try to imagine a physical figure of "God"/Jesus. I know that the cliche depiction of God is an old bearded man upon a throne, but I don't see that backed up anywhere in the Bible

When I pray, I generally just close my eyes and know that God is listening

Wondering if yall do the same, if you actually SEE something, or if you just imagine talking to what you think God may look like

I see God. He is more of a blinding light to me.

I don't imagine what God looks like when I pray, I just pray knowing He hears me. I haven't seen any images of Him or anything like that when I pray either.

No, don't see anything when I pray.. I trust and "KNOW" that He hears me.. for His Word gives me the promise... and I "know' from past experience... that He does have His ears open unto the Righteous.. and His eyes are over them...

The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their cry.

For the eyes of the Lord [are] over the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord [is] against them that do evil.

God cannot be seen as He is Spirit. The only physical manifestation we have of Him is Jesus. However, none of the paintings of Jesus are accurate. I don't see anything when I pray. Most of my "prayers" are sentence prayers throughout the day and night. I talk to Him like a dear friend.

I don't "see" God when I pray as much as I sense Him and His presence with me.

I have some general picture of Him in my head, I guess you could say, as my Father sitting on His throne, or Jesus as I picture Him to be. But those, I know, are nowhere close to reality, because seeing God means to be in awe of His glory and majesty, and so whichever glimpse that we get of Him now isn't going to be anything compared to His full glory. No one can see God and live. No flesh can stand in His presence, never mind glory in it. It is only because of the Holy Spirit's gentle touch, and Him holding back His full glory that we can even stand the bit of whatever Presence we get to sense. If God was to really let loose upon our unsuspecting bodies, I think we would die in an instance. And so whichever glimpse we get now ought to be sufficient until that day ... that day when we see Him for who He really is, and how awesome that will be!

Sometimes i do see him in prayer, by perceiving him through the writings of john in revelation.

There are seven golden lampstands around YOU.
Your sitting on the Right hand of the throne.
You are dressed in a robe reaching down to your feet
Your head and hair are white like wool, as white as snow
Yours Eyes are blazing with fire
Your feet are like bronze glowing in a furnace
and Your voice is like the sound of many waters.

All i do is Exalt HIm with every thing John saw in Rev 1 and there HE IS!

To God Be the Glory
