Matthew 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Most Christians do not prostrate on the ground like Jesus did. So where did their form of prayer come from? For example putting the palms of the hands together vertically and pointing the fingers upwards - is Jesus reported to have ever done that?
