A genuine question to all the Christians on here ?!

As a Muslim, I have always wondered Why don’t Christians pray like how the prophets did?

The holy Bible :

“And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed..." (Matthew 26:39)

"And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship..." (Joshua 5:14)

"And Moses and Aaron went from the
presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces…" (Numbers 20:6)

"And Abraham fell on his face..." (Genesis 17:3)

"…and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God." (Revelation 7:11)

"…Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces." (1 Chronicles 21:16)

Etc..
Throwing your face to the ground means your forehead is touching the ground.

Similarly in the holy Quran :

“ ....Those were the ones upon whom Allah bestowed favor from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel [i.e., Jacob], and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping” (Chapter Mary verses 57-58)

“O you who have believed, bow and prostrate and worship your Lord and do good - that you may succeed” (chapter the pilgrimage verse 77)
Etc..
But personally, I have never seen a Christian in my entire life ever place their forehead on the ground while praying.
Christians;
Muslims :
Ps: this is a respectful genuine question, so please no hate 💕

It doesn't matter.
If you were on the moon, what would you do? What about if you were going to mars in zero g?

@Tastyfrzz personally I’d say “ right now ur on a planet with gravity with the capacity to prostrate to God so why not ?”
Anyways,
that’s not the question either way
Muslims Christians Jews etc
All know they can pray any time and anywhere
And that God is all hearing all knowing
But my genuine question was why I have never seen or even heard of Christians prostrating
Even though the majority of the mighty prophets did according to the Holy Bible
That’s all
Thanks for the comment ! Have a great day

@Moon3624 My guess is that it is because Christianity arose in Roman occupied lands and prayer had to be kept secret or the Romans would turn you into a living torch.
